As my students are starting to prepare for Middle school, we talk about the importance of staying true to ourselves, treating others the way we want to be treated, and being an overall good citizen. I usually always get my students an inexpensive book for Christmas. As a teacher in a low income, Title 1 School, this is an important gift because I know that some of the less fortunate students in my class will not receive gifts. The book Wonder is a gift that keeps on giving, and I know that if the funds were provided my students would benefit from this project. The goal for this project is that we build a strong classroom community by reading the book together, and then have the class participate in a service learning project that will spread kindness through the school community and the local community as well. Overall, the opportunity to share this award winning book with my students and show them that Augie, the fifth grader in the book, was able to find that beauty is not just on the outside but it is on the inside!
