The celebration of Empathy is divided into several steps, which we are overcoming all together, in coordinated teams, so as to foster coexistence ! First , we are having a big group discussion about August's feelings and thoughts. Secondly , we are feeling what August is feeling when having his helmet on! Thirdly , we are designing costumes, storyboarding a scene and performing it in front of our peers. Finally, we are filling in our WONDER Wall with #choosekind postcards for August!

Our second term reading adventure, Wonder , is starting right now! Get ready to see people from another viewpoint! Here you are the official movie trailer:   Based on the New York Times bestseller, Wonder tells the inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman.   Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade.   As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out. The bestseller is already waiting for you at the School Library, on the ground floor. Do not miss another minute and get it!
