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,

Blogging Bonus:  On your blog create a post about your favorite movie of all time.  Consider using google images to find a picture to liven up your post. 

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?

Blogging Bonus: Beyond Dr. Seuss books, what is your favorite children's book?  You may create this post on your blog and make sure to submit it to me through your Google Form submissions due on Monday! 

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Hello friends!  

Well, it seems as if our three day President's Weekend has turned into a four day weekend!  Today I'm busy doing some things I should have worked on over the weekend, but didn't. On my list of "to-dos" is continue recording audio for Sisters Grimm book #3, check your Bank of Font project ledgers, a little laundry, just to name a few. 

I didn't get a great deal done this weekend because I was too busy having some fun.  On Saturday I hosted a movie night at my house entitled "Long Lost Disney Films", we had chocolate fondue and watched the original "The Shaggy Dog", Julia's pick. On Sunday we braved the snow and went to the Frozen Sing-A-Long in Atlantic Highlands which was fun.  Any day that can start with a Disney movie and popcorn is ok in my book.  Then I had some family over to celebrate the "February Birthdays" in my family (there are three) and we ended the evening with a game night which is always a blast. I spent my Monday reading and watching TV and trying to get motivated to get some things done but the forecast for snow made me pretty certain that I would have today off as well.  It's tough to get things done when you know you have more time. 

How did you spend your four day weekend?

If you are trapped inside today consider taking an indoor Brain Break
like we do in class. 

Here's hoping the streets clear and the snow stops so we are together for Wednesday!
Until then!

Valentine's Day!!!

Hello friends-

So many people have different feelings about Valentine's Day.  Some people love the day filled with friendship, love, and sweet gifts. Others feel as though the holiday doesn't do much for them.  

What are your feelings on Valentine's Day?

Do you love it? 

Hate it?

Don't feel strongly either way?

Let me know, 
Mr. Font

Blogger Bonus: Create a blog post about Valentine's Day. Does your family celebrate in any way? What Valentine traditions do you have? What will you do to celebrate this year? You can post this to your own blog.  This is a bonus, and not required. 

What's so SUPER about the Super Bowl?

As you know, I am not much of a football fan.  I couldn't tell you a Seahawk from a Patriot and only found out who was in the Super Bowl 3 days ago.  however, I am a huge fan of Super Bowl Sunday. Surprised?  Well don't be.  Super Bowl Sunday has all the things I love to celebrate.

First, there is the music.  I love hearing the National Anthem and this year it is being sung by one of my favorite singers, Idina Menzel.  You might remember her as Queen Elsa from Frozen.  I am also a HUGE fan of the halftime show. Katy Perry is unlikely to disappoint in her performance.

I love food! Chips and dip! Chicken wings and fingers! Nachos! What's not to like about those foods on a Sunday Night.

I love to laugh!  So the Super Bowl commercials are perfect for me!  Sometimes they are so funny and others are so endearing! This is my favorite Super Bowl Commercial EVER!

I also love that moment when they ask the winning QB what they are going to do next and they respond with... "I'm going to Disney World!"

Looks like I might have to watch Downton Abbey on-demand during Monday's snow day. Fingers Crossed and PJs inside out.
