Things got wild at 3rd Grade Reading Camp today!

As we continued our read aloud of Matilda, campers read about two of Miss Trunchbull's most infamous moments: when she swung Amanda Thropp by her pigtails and when Bruce Bogtrotter was forced to eat an entire chocolate cake in front of the school.

Students discussed character traits, made predictions, and shared their reactions to Miss Trunchbull's over-the-top behavior. These memorable scenes sparked great conversations about fairness, courage, and standing up for others.

We can't wait to see what happens next in Matilda's story!

Last week, President Snow served as a guest reader for the FSDB 3rd Grade Summer Reading Camp in the Deaf Elementary School.  Students are diving into Roald Dahl's Matilda, with guest readers taking on the role of narrator while Ms. Maddy Brady, their teacher, fully embraces one of the story's characters.  On the day President Snow visited, Ms. Brady transformed into the unforgettable Ms. Trunchbull, the headmistress of Crunchem Hall Primary School.

Reading is fun, and when you add creativity and engagement, students become more interested and confident in their learning.

 Description:  President Snow stands next to Ms. Brady aka Ms. Trunchbull while holding a copy of Matilda.  Ms. Truchbull, true to her character, has her hands on her hips and is scowling at the camera.
