Congratulations Stacee, you are our 2nd winner of fabulous prizes ;)
I had a wonderful time reading through the list of Christmas stories you share with your classes. It sounds like the Polar Express is a real winner for many of us. We do a Christmas Around the World (through literature) in my class and return back to the USA via the Polar Express. During the summer months, I knit winter caps for each student and they wear them during the movie. We make hot chocolate and eat yummy cookies. It's a favorite for me also. Thank you for sharing!!
Come back tomorrow for more fun!!
I've attached a freebie for sharing your favorite stories... thanks again!

Right now I'm loving There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Star (an Australian-themed series of Old Lady stories!) because it's just so quirky and my class is loving the series.
(I'm also eagerly awaiting the arrival of Pete Saves Christmas - that could almost top the above story!)
Thanks,

Counting down the days. When my little darlings came in this morning and saw the Christmas tree, they wanted to listen to Christmas music. One little girl's eyes got wide and she said "You mean Santa brings us presents to school, too!" My little ones are so sweet.
Merry Christmas Cheer to all!
