Today, Mrs. Filipiak's 3rd grade classroom had a very unique opportunity. Before Thanksgiving, they were sent copies of the book, Danny, the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl. Over Thanksgiving Break the third grade students read the book and when they returned, submitted questions in preparation for today's Connected Classroom Hangout with Lucy Dahl, Roald Dahl's daughter, and with Elizabeth Findley who works with Matilda, the Musical, on Broadway. It was a BEYOND amazing experience for the students who personally got to interact with both Lucy in Los Angeles and Elizabeth in New York. Lucy had some amazing information to share about her father and the kids and adults involved learned a lot! Some students even were able to make some very unique and interesting connections with Roald Dahl. As a big surprise at the end, the students received the book, Matilda, as a thanks for participating gift. They were beyond thrilled. Check out the video of the entire experience in the YouTube Video below. Thank you to +Matilda The Musical Broadway and +Connor Swenson for such an amazing opportunity!
