Holiday Stuff

Hi everyone, just wanted to pass along a couple of things here as we get closer to the holidays. I know a lot of us use The Polar Express across our curriculum in a lot of different ways. The iCats have posted a link to a website with a video of Lou Diamond Philips reading the Polar Express. I have checked it out, and it looks really well done. It comes with an option for captions, so students can even read along with him. There is also an activity guide for teachers that can give you ideas of other things to do with your students to go along with the book. Check it out, I think it's worth a look.

It looks like this is a website that is updated pretty frequently with new books, so you might want to check back every now and then.
