Despicable Me Movie Night
It’s #Movienightfriday and we are having a banana filled day.
Anyway, we are having so much fun today with the minions but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a little lesson to go along with it. The franchise includes The Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, Despicable Me 3, Minions, and Minions: Rise of Gru.





Despicable Me does cover the social issues of foster care and adoption, that is a long and complex lesson in itself. Despicable Me 3 you can do a music lesson on Prince.
And then with the Minion movies, you can add geography on where they traveled to but also a lesson on evolution.
