We have been reading an amazing book called Wonder. It's about a 5th graders's first time attending middle school and his challenges. This book evokes many themes. These themes are of friendship, community, outsiders and insiders, support and more. How can we support people around us who struggle with being the outsider or being bullied? What do we do when we realize that we are the ones bullying or being the target of bullying? How can we be better despite such challenges? All of us can relate with August, Via, Jack Will, Julian & Charolotte as some point or another.
To gain more great information, check out this website. This teacher did an in depth study of the book we are reading. Here you will find pictures helping you understand each part of the story we have read. Remember when Mr. Tushman referred to Mr. T? Remember when August's parents talked about Doogie? Here you can find out the answers to some of the questions you might have. I would have loved to show you all this in class.....but the website is blocked at school.....:/
