Spring has.....

Well, apparently not sprung.  Who would have thought that the first day is Spring would be snow covered. Although I love the snow, I had thought we might be free from the wintry mix until next year.  You know, when I had a chance to actually miss the snow.  We had just started seeing green and enjoying some recess time and now this... 

I don't know about you but I am feeling very Olaf-like and hoping for some warmer weather real soon!  

How about you, are you looking forward to a little Spring?

When You Wish Upon A Star...

Hello friends-

This weekend I went to see the new, live-action Cinderella movie.  I have to say that I truly enjoyed this new interpretation of a classic fairy tale.  It stars two characters from Downton Abbey (Devan, Lady Rose and Daisy are both in the film) and an actress from the Harry Potter films.  The Cinderella movie also happens to be directed by he actor who played Gilderoy Lockhart. Add in that it is a Disney film and you've got my interest. 


I won't give a review of the film incase you haven't seen it yet.

However, as the final credits rolled it got me thinking about some of the classic Disney films and this new interpretation of the animated film.  As you know, I am a HUGE fan of Disney films and have been since I was a little kid.  Although Cinderella is not one of my favorite Disney films I can appreciate it as a classic, a marvel in animation for the time period, and a love story. I definitely left the theatre singing songs from the Disney Version of Cinderella and wondering-What is your favorite Disney film? 

This video is of one of my favorite songs from the original animated classic-ENJOY!





And they lived happily ever after,

It's Seussical!

Hello Dr. Seuss fans-

This week we have been reading Dr. Seuss books in order to analyze the theme of the text.  Through our core novel, The Well of Sacrifice, we have been analyzing theme, collecting text evidence, and discovering the message the author wants us to apply to our own lives. Phew, we've been busy!

With Read Across America Day having just past is seemed like a great time to apply our Theme skills to some of the most famous books by Dr. Seuss. I've shared my favorite Dr. Seuss book Oh, The Places You'll Go.  I fell like it has such a great message that applies to everyone's lives and the message can be a little different depending on what stage of life your are in.  

It got me wondering-What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book and why?
