Help me give my students inclusive books like "Wonder" to read and listen to during this distance learning. Each copy will allow the students a physical book to work with during remote education.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are inquisitive and outgoing learners. Throughout a year, they have challenged themselves to grow as readers and digital citizens.
They have worked to develop a collaborative and safe atmosphere in the classroom where we can discuss texts, scholastic ideas, and real-world problems.
Within time, the students became an inseparable community of support where real-life struggles were being shared. This group has shown immense maturity in providing emotional support through their growth in middle school. Not only that, but these students also vocalize when they are struggling with something, educationally or internally. That element of education makes this group remarkable; they work to vocalize and give affirmation of their peers' self-worth and ability.
My Project
This book is part of an anti-bullying campaign to open the students' minds to other perspectives. This book is a core resource in allowing the students into another human's point of view.
Wonder promotes humanity and challenges the students to "choose kind".
By adding this book into the library, the students are engaging with a book that promotes inclusivity.
That's enough from me. This is directly from a student who I had the privilege of teaching this book over the summer, "'Wonder”... "I feel like I've learned so much from it and it really tough me to see all points of view. You should leave Wonder for the next class you have because it's a great book and at first I thought it was weird and not interesting but once I got to read it I wanted to read even more."
