We've been having a lot of fun this month learning about the wonderful books of Roald Dahl! September 13th is Roald Dahl's birthday and widely celebrated around the children's literary world. Here at Linden Meadows the students have been learning about this famous British author and the connection he makes with children through his humour and fantastical imagination. From "Oompa Loompas" and talking animals to magic fingers, Roald Dahl has captured a wide audience of readers. His books have derived a lot of their popularity from the many movies they have been turned into...
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
- Matilda
- The Witches
- James and the Giant Peach
and now...coming to theaters in November...FANTASTIC MR. FOX!!! Right now, the grade 3 and 4 classes are having the novel read aloud to them during library class. Click HERE to see a preview/trailer of the new movie!
The grade 2 class is "taking a big bite" out of Roald Dahl's book, The Enormous Crocodile! Watch out for this guy...he likes to eat children!
