Polar Express Wonderland for Believers!

Help me give my students a memorable white winter in New Orleans literacy experience!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Romero's classroom raised $270

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our pre-k/2 learners will experience a Polar Express experience before they leave for the winter break. This year our push is literacy! We plan on immersing our students in making the Polar Express book come to life by having a train ride, believe bells, and snow! I plan on using the items requested to make a full experience for the learners with the Polar Express. Our students live in the south and they rarely experience a white winter. On the day of the Polar Express experience, we will have balloon snow and believe bells for the students to reenact the iconic story!
