All aboard the “Polar Express”! Students in Nicole Bal’s and Erica Friedman’s classes at Martin Luther King Intermediate School took an exciting journey through reading, writing, and math with a festive “Polar Express”-themed unit. After reading the beloved story, students dove into engaging academic activities that sharpened their language arts and problem-solving skills.
The adventure concluded with a sweet and creative twist: Students teamed up to design and build their own Polar Express gingerbread trains. Through collaboration, imagination, and hands-on learning, they brought the story to life in the most delicious way.
This was more than a holiday activity – it was a celebration of learning, teamwork, and creativity!
