Thanks to Shanna Leonard for this awesome blog post about their One Book, One School initiative. I chose the book We’re All Wonders by R.J. Palacio to read as a school. This is the picture book that allows younger readers to discover the Wonder experience. Our 5th grade students are currently reading Wonder with Mr. Martin during their reading time. This book will allow us to connect as a school in an effort to #choosekindness. Wonder will be in theaters starting November 17, 2017. After viewing the movie to ensure the language is appropriate, I would like to invite 5th grade students to meet at the theater to watch Wonder together. Other Wonder activities that we will include are:
“Look with kindness and you will always find wonder.” R.J. Palacio

Super idea, it isn't easy finding a book with a younger version as well as higher reading level version. I'm sure your guidance counselor was thrilled. Kids are going to love it-Well done Shanna!
