Because of Winn Dixie

If you have not read Because of Winn Dixie, you are missing out on a great adventure. A young girl named Opal learns many life lessons one summer alongside her dog, Winn Dixie.  We were on edge as we read through the book together in class.  My students begged me to "keep reading, keep reading!" The movie inspired by the book recently hit the big screen and is just as heartfelt as the book. A few teachers and several students were able to meet at the movies on February 19th to watch it together.  It was a great time! 

Have you read the book or seen the movie?  What were your favorite parts?  Would you recommend the book or movie to others?

I loved watching Because of Winn-Dixie.
It was a really good movie. One of my
favorite parts of the movie (and funniest
to me) was when Winn-Dixie went to the
"church" and caught the little mouse. I
thought that was cute. I also liked it
when she first found Winn-Dixie. I think
that more kids should see it. I had fun!
