Once a month (more or less) on a Friday afternoon, we show movies in the library. We select literary favorites which have successfully been made into movies. It's a lot of fun!.
We have snacks, and even bring a sleeping bag now and then.

 

 

 


Our first movie afternoon was on Friday, October 26th. We started off with The Wizard of Oz.


Our second movie, on November 30th, was Holes. Does it get any better?
On February 1st, we had our third movie showing. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the original) was a big hit.
On April 11th we had cake and milk at exactly 3:45 because that's when Harriet has her snack every day in Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh.

 

 

Some schools try to treat their children kindly. They attempt to entertain and nuture them so that they will grow and bloom like flowers in the spring.

This is not such a school.

If it were, we would show movies with some adventure, some laughs, and a happy ending. We never do that kind of thing. On Friday, May 9th, we showed a film with a depressing beginning, filled with sadness and disappointment, and a nasty ending. The movie was called Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Those that had nothing better to do came. The snacks were stale and uninteresting, the beverages absent. I'm sorry to tell you, but that was the way it was.
