My Project

Rolad Dahl is a staple in children's literature. With this donation students will get to exprience the magic of Matilda without having to read it off of a screen. These books will be used for many years to come, not just this years. We will talk about figurative language, inference, and foreshadowing. We will also use this story to help improve our compare and contrast writing and learn about different genres. Help foster of love of reading and story telling by donating to our fourth grade classroom of readers and writers.
