"Wonderful" Reflections

For the past few weeks we've been reading the novel Wonder by RJ Palacio. This is always a very popular novel and it talks a lot about how we treat others and the legacy we leave behind. Students are introduced to August Pullman, a 5th grade student in New York who is a pretty normal kid, except for the facial deformities he was born with. How he is treated, and the impact he has on other students, is pretty astounding.

We all really enjoyed reading Wonder and we've just started the companion book Auggie & Me. Take a look at the amazing ideas and insights your students have had as we read this book. Click on any of the links in the picture below to be sent to our Padlets. You can also reach it, HERE.
