The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg is a yearly tradition across North America. Have a fun Friday pajama day, bring hot cocoa, print some tickets, and spend the day traveling on the Polar Express with your kiddos. There is no better Christmas celebration. We spend the first part of the day on reading and math. The activities we use are listed below, and the second part of the day, post recess is literally fun and games.

Grinch Who Stole Christmas Lesson
Grinch is another Christmas Classic. With Grinch, we learn that Christmas doesn't come from the store. Grinch is also a great example to teach tolerance especially since he has very little of it until the very end.

The Smallest Gift of Christmas by Peter H. Reynolds falls perfectly into our theme of Holiday spirit and character development. Getting the smallest gift is... the worst most upsetting thing that can happen. Roland learns that bigger and more doesn't mean better.

The Night Before The Night Before Christmas Lesson perfectly captures the mad rush of the Holiday season from getting the tree to preparing the house. So many things go wrong in "The Night Before the Night Before Christmas", but it all ends well because again, Christmas doesn't have to be perfect and doesn't come from the store. Beautiful message about family and being together.

The Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton is a beloved children's holiday classic. Why does Santa get to have all the fun? Jack is tired of Halloween Town. This yearly read perfectly ties two of our favorite holidays, Halloween and Christmas. It's a perfect reading to compare two holidays and study the cause and effect of Jack's actions.
