The students at Lincoln really enjoyed the screening of Safe Haven: The Warsaw Zoo (with some students giving it more than 5 stars! WOW!). Students will be writing their reaction papers soon, sharing them on their blog pages, and writing to director Gary Lester. Please see the comment below by Gary Lester- very cool!
Greetings Accelerated 5th Grade Readers,
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled that you will be watching my movie, Safe Haven: The Warsaw Zoo. Of the ten movies I have made, this one remains my favorite.
When Ryzard's dad was asked why he did what he did, he answered, "I did it because it was the right thing to do."
I only hope that every decision I make is because "it was the right thing to do."
I like your review sheet and the ticket. Cool!!!
Gary Lester
