Adam's Polar Express Party

On Thursday, Adam had a Polar Express party at school. They had a reading train and had to fill the train cars up with books they had read in order to attend the party. Each child was supposed to read 15 books. Adam set a goal for himself to read 100 books. He reached his goal and then some, reading a total of 110 books on his own the past 2 1/2 weeks. He got to wear his pajamas to school and take his favorite pillow and stuffed animal. They watched the movie Polar Express and had doughnuts and hot chocolate. Each child received a ticket for the party and by the time he got home, Adam's ticket was water stained and bent. I asked him what happened to it, and he said he had kept it in his shoe (just like on the movie).
He was so happy he met his goal and we are so proud of him!
