Aw and Au worksheet and The Hunger Games


Next week my class is learning the aw and au sounds.  I have made two worksheets to help them understand these sounds better. Check them out at my Teachers Notebook shop.  Click the picture if you are interested in them.  And, they are free!

Last night I went to watch The Hunger Games at an IMAX theater.  The movie was really good!  I would be interested to know if someone watched the movie who didn't read the books would understand what was going on?  I had read a review saying they stayed true to the book.  Well, they did, but they did leave out a lot too.  I guess if they would have included everything from the book the movie would have been too long. 

All week I have been enjoying all the cards and other Hunger Games items on Pinterest.  I tried and tried to add them to my blog, but it would never publish so now I am giving up. 




Did you read the books or watch the movie?  Let me know what you think.

  1. What reading program do you use? We just were working on the same sounds a couple of weeks ago.

  2. I read the first book and watched the movie with my husband last night (he hasn't read the book). He liked it, and got what was going on...and started and FINISHED the second book today. (who doesn't start with the first book, even if he saw the movie...)

    1. Michelle,
      How great that he went with you to watch it and read the second one today. I too finished the second one and started the third one. I would have a tough time not reading the first one though. :-)

  3. Thanks for the "aw"some freebies! LOVED the book, thought the movie was okay. I liked it better the second time I saw it...went w/ the hubby yesterday - he hated it :( and liked it MUCH better today when I went w/ my daughter.
