I stumbled upon this program as I was doing homework for my instructional Strategy for Students at Risk class. I have never reviewed anything for IMDb, but wanted to promote "Moon." I found it particularly true and exciting to see the teacher's revelation (via his wife) to take such a complex curriculum (such as space camp's),and make it work for his class for students with LD (Learning Disabilities). They had one year to prepare for the program, and the co-teachers put together "something" for this purpose. It was totally successful. You can see some differentiated instruction techniques in process. Also, the fact that it is not uncommon for students with LD to have exceptional or significant gifts was reflected. It showed many aspects of the struggles and triumphs of students with LD. I liked how the teachers pushed their students beyond themselves. This movie shows all of us how acceptance, encouragement (and cheer leading),perseverance, and teamwork is accomplished. I'd like to say more, but I don't want to ruin it for you.

A Smile as Big as the Moon told us a story. Hallmark did it well, made it believable, and imparted a little vision for all of us. Did you catch it?

I really enjoyed this movie. I found myself cheering these kids on wanting them to do well. I am so glad they were given the opportunity and so happy that their teacher did not settle because they had challenges. They learned so much more than just sitting in the classroom. I Had just got back from Huntsville Alabama and The Rocket center is so worth seeing. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 4/13/21.

I shall rate this highly as it deserves it. As far as being realistic, this remains to be seen.

We see the supposed conventional special education class with its myriad of problems. Of course, we have the heavy set girl, an African-American named Jamal, fighting, temper tantrums, dyslexia, you name it. What we do have here that we don't find in the vast majority of special education classes-the intrinsic motivation to learn and the required knowledge and ability are all there as well.

We have the teacher who never gives up on his pupils along with a wonderful co-teacher. We have the principal who feels that these students are not qualified to go to space camp.

Against the odds, the students do go and show everyone up in the process. There is the temper tantrums displayed but in the end our students win all the awards at space graduation.

What a wonderful world. The picture is beautifully done. The characters are most sympathetic, but visit an urban school setting and reality takes hold.

Interesting scientific information was displayed. Kudos to all!
