Mr. Peabody & Sherman movie review.

The movie Mr. Peabody & Sherman starts this Friday March 7th! YEAH!!!

This is a movie that everyone will enjoy from Grandparents to Grandchildren. The character was first introduced to us in the 1950's as one of Rocky and Bullwinkle's friends on their animated show. I grew-up watching the re-runs of the cartoons and I absolute love this cute, smart Beagle.

The movie story line is about Mr. Peabody, a loving father, who tries to give his little boy the best life any little boy could want. Things change when his son, Sherman, starts school and encounters a bully named Penny. Trying to be a good parent Mr. Peabody invites Penny and her family over for dinner. That is when things go wrong and the WABAC, a time machine (prononunced Wayback), is used without permission and an adventure begins. Through a series of events the main characters visit with Leonard Di Vinci, King Tut and many other history making persons. Those encounters are hilarious and memorable.

The movie had me talking to the screen and laughing my socks off. I saw it in 3D but because I wear glasses I prefer the standard definition. Overall, I give this movie (4) out of (5) stars, which is my highest grade so far. I hope you take your entire family to see it. It is a fun story that will keep you laughing and asking questions about history. I came home and had to research King Tut to find out more about him.

Sidenote: WABAC is short for Wavelength Acceleration Bidirectional Asychronous Controller

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. ...
