Discount Movie Theatre Tickets for the Family & Students

Typically May should be full of sunshine and flowers, however this year instead there have been mud puddles and rain. So what is a family to do when they get rained out? What about heading to the movies?

Get your family 30% off discount movie tickets!

Last Saturday, my husband and I took the kids to the Rave Ann Arbor 20 (4100 Carpenter Rd., Ypsilanti) for a family date night at the movies. While I've been to the theatre several times, it is always nice to notice that the staff and management  are always friendly and helpful, while the premises is clean (including restrooms). I like to see too that there are always a variety of family friendly movies and movie showtimes to accommodate almost everyone! This May, to help families out, Rave Motion Pictures is offering a special family bundle for discount tickets and snacks.

Through May 31, at the Rave Ann Arbor 20, families can receive 2 adult tickets and 2 child tickets with 2 medium popcorn bags, 2 medium candy choices and 2 medium and 2 small drinks for only $50.50. That’s a great discounted savings - 30% off - of the original $71.50 price. Currently the movie theatre is running the family-friendly blockbuster movies: African Cats, Rio and Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil is playing with new movies including Kung Fu Panda 2 opening later this month.

For a parents perspective, it is good to note though that the family deal does NOT include 3-D movies. Moms and dads might also want to prep the kids that the medium candy choices are the ones on the top shelf too. There was some major disappointment by my children to be "limited" by candy choices however they could have had good old standards like M&M candies, Skittles or Starburst.

Make sure go get your movie theatre discount before May 31 - Ann Arbor has rain predicted for the weekend, so how about taking the family to the show?

Mathnasium Ann Arbor Opens Today - Fun, Tailor Made Math Tutoring

This school year I'll have to say that I am really proud of my son's advancement in math. He grasps the concept easily and quickly and has scored well in testing throughout the year. Reading has been a different story though. He's been slow to grasp concepts, which motivated me to get him additional one-on-one guidance in the way of a private tutor. The extra out-of-school help has improved his self-esteem, propelled him beyond expected levels for his grade and has helped him to cope when he is just not getting it.

These observed changes have made me a supporter of non-school learning. Our children don't always respond well to our guidance and sometimes do better with someone outside of the house-hold who is creating a customized learning program for the child.

Today, May 5, 2011 in Ann Arbor, Mathnasium is opening for business where kids in grades Pre–K through high school can focus on math skills with an enriched, comprehensive, and balanced mathematics curriculum helping them to catch up, keep up, or to find a greater challenge to get further ahead.

The Mathnasium learning center curriculum and teaching method were developed over 30 years ago from first-hand and highly successful math teaching experience by Larry Martinek, a math teacher, teacher-trainer and consultant in public as well as top private schools, and a famed “math guy”. Based on a deep understanding of how children learn naturally, the Mathnasium Method makes math make sense to kids.

Today, the biggest area of concern for many parents is that "Everyday Math" does not promote the systematic learning of basic math facts (addition, subtraction, times tables, division) and standard computational
procedures. Instead, it is a process of “algorithm invention” that is extremely confusing to many students and parents - Personally there are many days when I look at my son's first-grade homework and feel stumped - Which is why many students may have their learning process inhibited.

At Mathnasium, the highly-trained math tutors create a tailor-made learning plan based on comprehensive testing initially and throughout the course of your child's stay that teaches them the underlying meaning of each of the operations, and effective techniques for mastering number facts and procedures. This combination is ideal for students learning Everyday Math program - whether they are struggling, advanced, or anywhere in between - Which will strengthen a child's learning and development preparing them to succeed in math in their class and in the future.

For more information on giving your child math tutoring in a fun and engaging learning center environment, call Mathnasium of Ann Arbor at 734-355-8718 or visit the Ann Arbor Mathnasium website. Parents can also find information at the Mathnasium Ann Arbor blog.

Mathnasium of Ann Arbor will create a customize math learning plan to help your child to catch up, keep up, and find a greater challenge getting them further ahead in their math skills for life!
