Wonder, by R.J. Palacio, is the best way to end a year for 5th Grade learners! The Liberty Elementary 5th Grade Team is combining forces to create a learning experience that will engage students in the process of studying important themes as they begin to think about transitioning to middle school. Authentic literature is one of the best methods for engaging young minds in stretching their reading skills by incorporating the world around them. Allowing students to explore themes that apply directly to their understanding of what it means to be kind allows students to have a reading experience unlike any other. As a team, we are working to develop a unit of reading that incorporates 5th-grade reading standards, social/emotional skills, and an opportunity to connect authentic text to themselves, other literature, and the world outside of their classroom. We will use these opportunities to help students prepare for the transition from elementary school to middle school, easing their anxiety and fears related to a monumental transition for young learners.
