Choose Kind...

"When you have an opportunity to be right or be kind, choose kind", Wonder. RJ Palacio.  That's the buzz in our middle school since we started reading this life changing novel.  Meet Auggie Pulman, a 10 year old boy who was born with a rare genetic disorder that has caused him to have severe facial deformities.  Wonder has sparked the most thoughtful discussions in our Middle School. The kids are truly enjoying every minute of this novel.  Check out some of our reflections and words of encouragement to August from my class.

Wonder

Imagine going out to catch fireflies and accidentally catching fairy or possibly finding a genie who misplaced his lamp. These wonderful stories and illustrations are a work in progress at the moment so check back soon to see their finished creations. Our first novel of the year is the thought provoking, funny, uplifting story Wonder by RJ Palacio, and my students can't wait to read it every day. So as we share with you what is happening in our class, please feel free to comment. We would love to hear from you!
