My family and I have movie night once a week. It is a great opportunity to share quality time, laugh and learn. This is also a great time to share those treats that are saved for just these special occassions. The teacher in me is constantly exploring new ways to turn any opportunity that may arise into a fun learning experience. I have found this great blog site "Kids Off The Couch" that have just that for my family and movie night. They have a film festival section that reviews great family movies and films, offer learning connections, discussion suggestions, cultural connections and bits of wisdom. It is great being able to share a fun, interactive night with the family that is more than just sitting there and staring at the television. The kids love it! I think this site offers parents an opportunity to share wonderful learning experiences with their children. From both smaller kids to teens, there seems to be something for all. One more great thing. They offer similar experiences with BOOKS!
