Our first movie day on Friday, Februray 19 was a complete success! During this event, we watched the movie UP while eating popcorn and other little snacks. Rather than having one of those microwave popcorn bags, we had a popcorn machine that made really good freshly popped popcorn. We also provided the tutees and tutors with cute little cookies made by Mrs. White as well as chips, store-bought cookies and drinks. The movie itself taught middle-schoolers a very important moral: our connections with others is what makes life meaningful. It also teaches them that no matter how old you are, you should still follow your dreams. These themes can give our tutees more confidence in pursuing thier own ambitions and goals. Although there were some technical difficulties at times during the movie, everyone laughed it off and continued to enjoy their friday night. This was a great way to end a busy school week and we hope there are many more movie days to come! :]
