Fall Blogging Challenge #3

Hello bloggers! 

Before I get started on this blogging challenge, let me remind you that responses should be thoughtful. Make sure to edit for spelling, capitals, and punctuation before publishing to the world. 

I hope you are enjoying your time off and are looking forward to getting back together after break. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again! Today I started a new book and read "Entertainment Weekly". Entertainment weekly is one of my "easy reads"- it's a magazine all about movies and television shows. The magazine has stories about how many of the movies that are coming out shortly have been made. Most recently I read articles about " Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" (the new movie in the Harry Potter series), Dr. Strange (the newest movie in the Marvel universe) and the new live action Beauty and the Beast movie. 


It got me thinking- I LOVE the movies! I love sitting in a comfy chair with my popcorn, Pepsi, and some sort of gummy snack (either Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, or Twizzlers) and entering the world brought to me by the movies. 

Here's my family and I getting ready to see the new Stars Wars Movie. 

I have many "favorite" movies. I have favorite musicals (West Side Story), favorite comedies (Clue), Favorite dramas (A Time to Kill), favorite Disney films (Little Mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast), favorite old movies (Casablanca)...well, you get the picture. 

That got me wondering, what are some of your favorite movies and WHY? 

Fall Break Blogging Challenge #2

Hello friends, Remember me! 

Mrs. Dzugan and I enjoying the Magic at Walt Disney world this Summer!

It's time for our second Fall Break Blogging Challenge. Are you up for the challenge?  I can tell you are. 

For this blogging challenge I am wondering- 

What is something fun you've done so far over the break? 

OR

 What are looking forward to doing later in the break? 

My brother and I are going to NYC on Wednesday to see one of our favorite Broadway performers in a limited time show. I am definitely looking forward to this and can't wait for Wednesday to get here. Her name is Kristin Chenoweth and she is probably most famous for being in the Broadway show Wicked. Here she is singing with Idina Menzel (also from Wicked, but also Elsa from Frozen). 

I can't wait to hear from you guys- I miss ya!

Fall Break Blogging Challenge #1

Well hello my friends-

I hope that you have enjoyed the beginning of our fall break. I spent the first day of the break doing what my family calls a "Pajama Day". Basically I was in my pajamas all day! I read a little, cooked a little, watched some TV, and ended the day with a movie (or two-since I didn't have to get up early the next day). 

Today I was a bit more productive but spent a great deal of time reading. I was reading a book that was just getting so good that I couldn't stop. I kept telling myself "one more chapter" but as soon as I finished that "one more chapter" I HAD to read another one! Has that ever happened to you? When I finished the book I felt like I wanted to stay with the characters, in the story, a little longer. I had wished their was a sequel or a movie so that I could keep stay with the characters a little longer- similar to the way I felt when we finished Stone Fox. I was changed by this book and the characters just like we all were when we read the last chapter of Stone Fox. 

That got me wondering- What book are you currently reading? Are you enjoying it? What makes it a good book? 

Can't wait to check out your responses!

Fall Break Blogging Challenge

Hello Heroes! 

This Fall Break I present to you----

THE FALL BREAK BLOGGING CHALLENGE! 

Throughout Fall Break I will be posting different blogging challenges to our class blog. I might ask you to comment with something fun you've done over the break, maybe I'll ask you about the book you are reading, or I might ask you your favorite movie---YOU NEVER KNOW! 

If you complete the blogging challenge with a THOUGHTFUL comment you will earn a blue ticket for our #MVSRoom21 raffle. The more challenges you complete the more tickets you will receive. After the break you are going to be launching your VERY OWN BLOG and this blogging challenge will help you prepare for what is to come. 

I hope you enjoy the break and I look forward to checking in with you digitally while we are away from #MVSRoom21.

Pumpkins EVERYWHERE!

Hello heroes!

This is the Mickey Mouse inspired design I
carved this year. 

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I enjoy the cooler weather (who doesn't love wearing a sweater) and I LOVE all things pumpkin! One of my family traditions for as long as I can remember is our annual family Pumpkin Party. The whole family comes over and we carve pumpkins into Jack O'lanterns. We move all the furniture out of the way and watch old Halloween cartoons and movies while we cut, clean, empty, and carve our pumpkins. I'm usually responsible for food at family parties. This year we kept it easy with one of my favorite foods- PIZZA for dinner. I made a ton of desserts including Pumpkin Blondies, Apple Tarts, Oatmeal Cookies, Pumpkin Cupcakes, and Frozen Smore Pops. Something you might not know about me is that I LOVE to bake and like making new things.  

Here is my brother (Dylan), little cousin (Julia),
and I getting our pumpkins started.

Just a few of our pumpkin designs. 

Lastly, we clean the seeds and roast them for a fall time snack! 

Blogging about my Halloween traditions makes me wonder- what Halloween traditions does your family have? 

Can't wait to hear from you!

So Much to Read...

Hello readers- 

Today when we were book shopping I noticed that many of you couldn't wait to get your hands on some new books. I LOVED seeing how excited you were to have new books to read from our library.  As I mentioned today- I had a teacher meeting at Barnes and Nobles after school and I felt the same excitement that you felt when you shopped in our library today. There were SOOOOO many books that I wanted to read (and, as promised, I purchased a few for our classroom). 

Sorting books always makes Copper tired. 

As I browsed the shelves I saw some new books I am dying to read, some new favorites, and some old favorites that I have read so many times that the cover just makes me smile. It made me wonder- What is one of your FAVORITE books? 

Can't wait to read your comments!
