This is our fifth year showing movies based on literary favorites.
Every so often on a Friday we snuggle in for an afternoon of
movie watching in the library and eat a movie-themed snack.

It's a lot of fun!.

This year we are kicking off the series with Holes. It has been a few years since we showed it. It is time to get reacquainted with Armpit and Kissing Kate.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid was hilarious. The middle school humor was certainly familiar to everyone in the room!
We ate Scooby snacks and watched Hotel for Dogs. Barbara, the Head of the Lower Middle School, surprised us by eating a real dog biscuit. Apparently they were a childhood snack favorite. Who knew?

We laughed a lot watching Freaky Friday in which a mom and her daughter switch bodies for the day.
Donning our 3-D glasses, Coraline kept us on the edge of our seats....

On October 24th, we gathered to watch Howl's Moving Castle. We have a lot of Miyazaki fans!
Hoot was a real hoot.

 

 

 


Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker kept us on the edge of our seats on January 30th.

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.
