Ever since I first heard of WONDER, I knew that it would probably be a book I’d want to use with my students. Once I read it, there was no doubt in my mind that it is a book that needs to be shared with students. Since I teacher 7th and 8th grade, it’s an especially important time for them to be thinking about always remembering to #choosekind.
So this year, all of my classes will be hearing WONDER as a read aloud and having discussions in class. We will also be sharing our thoughts with our Sister Classroom and figuring out ways to spread the word through in school and online public service announcements reminding others to always #choosekind.

Such a fantastic idea. Thanks for letting us know about this! I love WONDER.
I do hope you share those public service announcements! Would love to see what your students come up with.
This is great. I love your blog. It's beautiful.
