New Read-Aloud



We finished Matilda today and each child can take home their own copy, if they like. When I asked for suggestions on what to read next, chants of "BFG! BFG!" rang 'round the room. Some of the children heard this last year when they were first graders, but they really wanted to hear it again. Of course, I don't mind - it is one of my favorites. 

So while we will be reading lots of Patricia Polacco pictures books for Author Study month, our morning dose of Roald Dahl will continue.

I can just feel the excitement of the children.

We reread BFG too. What a great story. The author is so crazy!

Elliot told me about the BFG. I'm so excited! It was one of my favorite books; I was even the BFG for Halloween in third grade.
