Time for a special Valentine's Day posting.
It was a special unique day for our class. Through a crazy coincidence eleven years ago both our co-room parents had children born on Valentine's Day. So we had birthday celebrations with yummy ice-cream at the end of the day.
We started off our morning with homemade fresh off the griddle pancakes with strawberries & cream combined with bacon. It was a yummy feast! The students also used this time to pass out their Valentine's Day cards. A special special thank you goes out to our industrious generous room parents for making today a memorable occasion.
Between the breakfast feast and the birthday ice-cream we found time to watch to Valentine's Day inspired movies and have some great conversations regarding inference and the meaning of the movies. If you have time maybe watch the two movies and have a discussion with your son or daughter. I'm posting both of them so you easily watch them if you so desire.
Here is the first movie that we watched and it is titled ",Validation," and it is a play on the literal and figurative meaning of validation. At the beginning of the movie the main character's employment is that of a parking validator who also happens to validate people emotionally as the get their parking ticket validated.
Here is the second movie that we watched and it is titled, "World Builder," and it is a far more open-ended movie that can be interrupted several ways. This one we had a spirited conversation regarding what certain events meant and what we could and could not infer was the director's intent. We eagerly watched this one twice and held two discussions regarding it.
Have a wonderful three day weekend.
Mr. Hubbard
