Shawmut Hills is LOVING The Twits by Roald Dahl!

Dirty beards, ugly faces, glass eyeballs, awful pranks.... this book really keeps the attention of the 2nd through 5th graders at Shawmut.

Mr. and Mrs. Twit are horrid people, and while the students have laughed aloud at how extremely mean the Twits are to one another, the book also sneaks in valuable lessons like the following. 
It really is interesting to see the kids start thinking about this concept, and to hear their thoughts on kindness, and how people should treat each other. They all get it so well!

The Twits is a short chapter book (76 pages), and I anticipate finishing it with each group within 4 weeks. 

If you're a Shawmut parent reading this blog, I encourage you to ask your 2nd-5th grader about what we read in library this week!
