Well,
we’ve reached the end or our electronic field
trip through The Polar Express.
It has been an exciting journey.
First, we learned
about the life of Chris Van Allsburg, the author of The
Polar Express and many other children’s
stories. How a steam engine works was also a great learning adventure.
Another exciting stop on our trip was the visit to the Edaville
Railroad,
a winter amusement park in Carver, Massachusetts. The pictures
from the past “Holiday
Festival of Lights” made
me want to decorate the outside of my house with millions of
holiday lights. The elves were so busy at the North Pole that
they were
running around everywhere. The visit with Santa, Mrs. Claus,
and Rudolph
was especially exciting. The elves that work for the North Pole
Times are
a funny group. Each one has a special job, and special characteristics
that made each one awesome to learn about.
Thanks for traveling
aboard The Electronic Polar Express.
I hope you enjoyed your travels and
come back and ride with us again someday.
