Dressed in the PJ’s and their chair lined up in rows resembling seats on a train the third grade students from Mrs. Michelich’s 3rd grade class at Avon Heritage South prepared for an interactive journey to the North Pole on the Polar Express. Presented by the UNITE Consortium of Columbiana County.
On an over-night holiday train the students improved vocabulary, sequenced events, recognized characteristics and features of different types of literary forms and genres and identified the theme of a literary text. Narrated by Mrs. Straub of the Columbiana ESC the students were treated to a fun and valuable experience.
The students shared hot chocolate and had a silver bell to signify the end of the story. As each student rang their bells it was obvious that all shared the Christmas spirit was the sound ringing echoed the room.
Avon Heritage South is a proud and active member of the UNITE Consortium with half of the buildings teachers previously at Avon East which was award their equipment through the Telecommunity Adding Partners Grant as part of the UNITE Consortium. Avon continues to be a part of the group with Avon East and Heritage South Elementary Schools.
Thank you Columbiana County for a great program!
