Star Wars - The Force Awakens Movie

The Force Awakens - Star Wars trilogy is out today. People have been waiting in lines for days to see it. The series has been around for over 30 years. It is part of the American culture to go with the family and watch it. It all began back in 1977 with the release of "A New Hope." Since then, thousands have become fans of the Star Wars Series. Now, it is my turn to share with my kids this American cultural moment.

If by chance you don't know much about this series, then I recommend that you watch all six movies after you read the books. This way you will understand the creators vision. I leave you with the order of the movie releases to help you get started.

Star Wars (A New Hope) (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983), The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), and Revenge of the Sith (2005) and today the release of "The Force Awakens" 2015 is the latest in this trilogy. "The Force is strong with this one!"
We can not wait to see the latest addition to the Star Wars series. In the meantime, we are sharing a trailer and a fun photos.

"May the force be with you!"

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: Dea

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".
