Polar Express

What a wonderful teacher you are! To put so much creativity into teaching your students. It sounds like a wonderful experience that you are setting up for them. I LOVE The Polar Express movie. It demonstrates how belief in anything is personal and unique to the individual.

That is such a sweet idea. I love it. What grade do you teach? I saw the Polar Express in 3D and it was amazing. I believe, don't you?

I think its great for your students to watch the movie. Its one of my must see movies every year and have it on DVD to view anytime. The message I get from the movie is anything can happen, if you really want it bad enough. It might not happen quickly. Many people give up easily, so you really need to work hard for each of your goals.

Ohmigosh, that is so cute. Can I come? You'll need help serving the hot chocolate, right? I have watched the movie. I learned it was all about believing! What age do you teach, Katrhina?

What a wonderful idea! I just watched it with my little granddaughter last friday night....she is three and totally enjoyed it....I was surprised how well she understood the movie.....What lesson I learned from it? Well if you believe it will happen!

wow sounds like your putting alot of work into making chirstmas special for these children and i congratulate you on this. I hope it all goes well and that the children enjoy it. Good Luck :)

We take my sons to this movie every year. THe IMAX near our home shows it in 3D an it's amazing. and we will also be going to ride the actual train ride through the Grand Canyon this year also. My oldes child is 8 and I know he is beginning to question, but this movie always seems to bring him back to believing that Santa is real! This movie has taught me the important of childhood innocence and trust. It also shows how quickly it can be lost. It's a wonderful movie with a wonderful message.

I saw this movie a couple of years ago. It is a wonderful movie and I applaud you for arranging this showing for your students. The Polar Express is a journey of self-discovery for a boy at Christmastime waiting upon Santa's sleigh, but who instead embarked on an extraordinary train ride going to the North Pole. It shows the doubting young boy (and everyone who watches the movie) that for those who believe, the wonder of life never fades. I'm not sure if there is a sublime Christian message to this movie, since it is made for Christmas, that the wonder of life never fades for those who truly believe in Christmas (the Christ of Christmas who came into this world to give hope and life to the world).

I loved reading this book when I was a kid. When I saw the movie I was telling my husband all about the book. He never read the book (I couldn't believe it LOL). I had to see the movie and I really loved it. My kids enjoyed it too. Thats cool what you are doing with the kids. I know my daughter would love it if her school did something like that. Heck I would have loved it if my school did that when I was a kid. I think the lesson I got from it is if you believe in yourself and others, you can make anything happen.

You did all of that by yourself? That's amazing! I watched the movie but not all of it because I only saw it while flicking the switches on the remote control. However, I learned that just because a movie was produced expensively, doesn't mean that it will appeal to everyone - I heard that it didn't make much when it was released even though they went all out in production. I guess it lacked the x factor because it really seemed like "another Christmas movie". thanks for the comment on my discussion!

That really nice of you to do all that for your student. i wish my teacher did something like that. I just like the ending of the movies and i don't learn anything new.

I don't watch this movie,but it sounds worth to watch.
