November Meeting

We had 7 students at our November meeting to discuss Roald Dahl and his books. The books that we read were Matilda, The BFG, and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. We discussed how Mr. Dahl's inspiration for the teacher from Matilda came from one of his daughter's real teachers. We also talked about how Mr. Dahl theme seems to center around kindness vs. meanness (instead of good vs. evil). It was noted that Mr. Dahl got his stories from his nightly storytime with his children.
December's book is called When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr. It is the story of a family who had to leave Germany shortly after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. Our next meeting date is December 17.
