Disney and the El Capitan were excellent hosts to this pre-screening. Our showing started at 10 AM so traffic to Hollywood was nice and easy. Plenty of parking was located around the theater at this time for very reasonable prices. We checked in with the staff out in front of the theater who gave us our media pack and tickets. We entered the 86 year old theater and were greeted with history and nostalgia. The theater is beautiful with every detail in old Hollywood affairs. We were directed to our seats and allowed to capture the moment. Decorated for Halloween, the theater had jack-o-lanterns and decor to celebrate the holiday. As we took our seats, music began to play and a beautiful organ lifted from underneath the stage to play all of the Disney classic songs while seating continued.

Wreck-It Ralph is the story of Ralph an 80's 8 bit video game character who is the bad guy in the video game Fix It Felix Jr. Felix is the games' hero and the main character of the video game who is everyones star. After years of being the bad character, Ralph becomes tired and angry wanting nothing more than to prove he too can be a hero of all video gamers. In an attempt to become a hero, Ralph hops games and discovers trouble in another game and fights to make it right before the game is placed out of order and is "Unplugged" for good. The story has a great message showing how helping others is the key to happiness.

Full of memorable 80's arcade game characters from Q-Bert to Sonic to Mortal Kombat, the movie brought back fond memories of my days dropping quarters into games like Super Mario Bros., Asteroids and Punch Out. Enjoyable for the kids as well as adults, this movies brings a little for everyone. Check out the preview below and run to the theater this weekend to show your support for Wreck-It Ralph!

Field Trip Mom received free admission to this pre-screen in exchange for this blog. We want to thank Disney and the El Capitan theater for including us in this opportunity!

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area. This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement. She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me. Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test." Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this: ...

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday. I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer. The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard. I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".

Field Trip to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Buena Park

My family and I were invited to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament for an afternoon of entertainment. I want to tell you about our journey into the Middle Ages via Medieval Times. It began at the will-call window with the kind clerk suggesting we visit their museum for a small fee. We said yes immediately to exploring their Middle Ages Museum called “The Museum of Torture”. It sounded interesting and educational to see Medieval exhibits. As we headed to the museum, a women dressed in traditional Middle Ages attire adorned all of us with blue crowns. We were assigned Don Alberto Del Mau as our Knight for the tournament. This meant we would have to cheer and support our Knight into battle. Don Alberto Del Mau is a young squire who is renowned as a champion of the defenseless. Armed with this knowledge, we set out to visit the Museum of Torture. Inside the museum, we realized that living in the Middle ages was a terrible time for all who crossed Royalty. ...
