Poster with one of Roald Dahl's inspirational quotes: "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Roald Dahl was a British writer who was well-known for his children's literature that he wrote from a child's perspective, in which the adults are always the bad guys, but there's also one heroic adult present. Sizes 18x24 (46x61 cm) and 24x36 (61x91 cm) are printed on demand and will be delivered separately.
Roald Dahl was more than just a children’s book author, though he was arguably one of the best that ever laid pen to paper. But did you know that...

The Big Fat Middle School Math Workbook : 600 Math Practice Exercises Workman Publishing, Editors of Brain Quest Date: October 19, 2021 9781523513581, 1523513586 Paperback Juvenile Nonfiction / Mathematics Juvenile Nonfiction / Activity Books Ages 10 to 14, Grades 5 to 9 432 pages Series: Big Fat Notebooks Full-color illustrations throughout Dimensions (cm): 23.5 x 17.78 x 3.18Weight (kg): 0.91 Summary Something NEW for Big Fat Notebook middle school fans: a write-in workbook for practicing and perfecting the concepts a student is learning in middle school math class. Practice makes As with a fill-in workbook from the editors of the Big Fat Notebooks! This hands-on Big Fat Math Workbook equals being tutored by the best teacher in the school, through a recap of every key concept using definitions, examples, and special services like THINK, showing just how to get into the concept, and REMEMBER, summing up critical facts. Plus: Sample problems worked out step by step. 600 exercises and word problems. A solution process instead of an answer key to guide students through each problem they missed or to reinforce how they succeeded. Contributor Bio(s) Workman Publishing is a New York-based publisher of award-winning nonfiction for adults and children. Key Points 1) A NEW KIND OF "BIG FAT" BOOK: If the Big Fat Notebook is like borrowing the notes from the smartest kid in class, the Big Fat Workbook is like being personally tutored by the best teacher in the school: it's packed with practice worksheets (and explanatory answers!) that help students truly understand math concepts and know exactly how to solve the problems they're presented. 2) A BOOK THAT STANDS ALONE - BUT ALSO WORKS ON THE SHELF NEXT TO BFN MATH: You don't need to know the Big Fat Notebook: Math to benefit from this workbook - it's a great resource all on its own, and each workbook page includes a brief recap of the key concepts being practiced, followed by an example question, all written in the plain, easy-to-understand language that BFN is known for. But students who do use BFN: Math (and that's over 200,000 a year based on Bookscan sales!) will find that this workbook ties closely to the Math notebook: chapter numbers and titles are the same in both books, so students don’t have to hunt to find the workbook pages that match the pages in the notebook. And example questions are solved using the step-by-step process shown in the Big Fat Notebook. 3) LEARNING THROUGH PRACTICE (AND ANSWERS THAT ACTUALLY EXPLAIN WHERE YOU WENT WRONG!): There's a reason why math teachers assign practice questions: because the more you try something, the more it makes sense and the stronger you become in the subject! This workbook is packed with exercises that provide lesson reinforcement, intervention, reteaching, and practice for middle school math students. Questions reflect multiple levels of difficulty—from basic to higher order thinking, as well as real-world application problems. And instead of a plain "answer key," there's a solution process section at the end of the book, with step-by-step guidance on how to solve the problem so students can see how they may have gotten an answer wrong.

It’s Week 3 of the TPT Seller Challenge and luckily it was a 1½ week challenge because I’m coming in at the last minute! This week, the assignment was “Make Your Masterpiece” and I decided to add another FREE Novel Unit to my TPT Store. I recently created a “blog button” (see sidebar to the right near the bottom) and chose a polka dot bow for the graphic. One of my favorite things about my Novel Units, and the reason I started creating them for my own classroom originally, is that I wanted to have everything I needed to teach a novel WELL, covering as many standards as possible, tied up in one neat package. While my free products aren’t bundled together due to the ten page limit for free items, you can still find everything you need to teach the novel following the links to each free product. It’s no secret that I love Roald Dahl. My Comprehension Packet for The BFG is my best selling product and I now have eight different Novel Units for Roald Dahl books available in my store (three of them are FREE). The Twits was an easy choice for this challenge because I can easily exhibit everything my Novel Units encompass with any Roald Dahl book. Dahl’s strong characters, plot twists, rich vocabulary and relatable humor have kept his books favorites in most every elementary school classroom since I was a child. A popular Roald Dahl quote reads, “If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” I didn’t realize until writing this Novel Unit that the quote comes from this book. (The Twits, p. 9) That isn’t the only treasure found in this little novel, as Dahl snuck in several important life lessons amid the humor. The theme is clear: the way you live your life will catch up with you in the end- good or bad. It’s never too early to learn that lesson! Make sure you snatch this freebie and while you’re there, check out my freebies for The Magic Finger and Esio Trot as well.

This week our writing focus was on creating friendly letters. On Tuesday I introduced the components of a friendly letter and shared with the students how to compose a letter with all of the necessary parts. We drafted letters to a person of our choosing and the students came up with many interesting topics to share about what was happening in their day to day life. The following day, I gave an assignment to the students today to write a letter to someone different and many chose Roald Dahl, since we are doing a focus unit on his books. Other students chose people from the school or home setting and a few even wrote letters to imaginary characters. Here are some of the letters below:
