We thought you might find it helpful to know a little more about what’s going on in the world of your students. Here are some of the most popular movies and songs this week (with a few comments from Emily thrown in). In the future, we hope to highlight fashion, technology, and other current topics. Let us know what you struggle most with in relating to your girls, and we’ll try to address it here.

1. Avatar, $34.9 mil (“Fern Gully” 2010: same agenda, better visuals)
2. Legion, $17.5 mil
3. The Book of Eli, $15.7 mil (while very graphically violent, an EXCELLENT film! Denzel Washington is charged to carry the Word of God west after “The Flash”[the Rapture]. His faith . . . a-ma-zing.)
