February 6, 2008 "Movie Day"

Today we took a relaxing trip to the wonderful world of movies! We all became movie stars. We created our own group movie about superheros and getting stuck in a Dinosaur book and we had to try to figure out how to escape from the book. It was full of adventure, action packed and we had to use our brains to problem solve our way out of our predicament. The kids were great actors!
We also made a film short of the kids' many talents. Each of the children got to get in front of the camera all by themselves and do something that they wanted to do. Olivia sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", Skyann danced for us, Jared wanted to jump, Christian wanted to laugh, Owen wanted to make funny faces, and Raymond wanted to be a cowboy. So they each got their chance at stardom!

At snack time we ate the traditional movie theatre treat of popcorn (fat free air popped with no butter :) ) and the kids of course loved that. After snack time we got to create our own film strips on paper. The kids got to color and draw three pictures on a film strip then they showed their movies to the rest of the group while telling us the story. It was a lot of fun and very creative stories!


Last of all the paparazzi arrived and started taking pictures of these new stars on the red carpet. They posed gracefully and let the cameras flash. They all had their star quality sunglasses on to prove that they had finally made it to the big screen! It was a fun-filled day.
