This morning we watched The Adventures of Huck Finn . This is awesome because we have been learning a lot about the Civil War while going thru the states. More of about slaves then every. While going thru the states especially the ones on the east coast some of the things we have focused on is Harriet Tubbman and where the underground railroad was. SC being the first to want to be the first to be it's own union. Ashlie thinks it is crazy.
So while watching this and seeing what the slaves had to go thru visually was a great experience for both of them to see. Yeah, Ash and I both cried a lot.
Last night we watched Hoot , which I loved. Aleq can't stop thinking about it since he thinks a lot about the animals that endangered. I would love for Ash to read the book, I even found a study guide online on it. You could read it to younger children for great conversation and reading comprehension.
Both of these movies have a lot of bullying in them. I love to watch it with the kids and talk about how would you feel in that situation. How you should never bully anyone?
Tonight we will watch "How to Eat Fried Worms". Ashlie is grossed out by the title, but I think I can get her to watch it with us. It is about bullying as well. There are a couple of unit studies for this one, I bet Aleq would like it. LOL
We are STILL waiting for the "Miracle Worker".... Whoever checked it out still has it....
These would be go unit studies with the books. If you google the titles to these with study guide, you will find them free.
Happy watching, it is so hard to find good movies. I love to find them as we are learning about things. It is a good treat and a good visual. ;)
