I forgot to bring the book to school on Friday, so I ordered it on my KIndle just so I could start it. :) I love your final project.

This is such an important book for kids to not only read, but have the chance to discuss with others.amy meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911226931345896290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597522349823417206.post-30258452761215527402013-03-09T11:25:18.251-05:002013-03-09T11:25:18.251-05:00So great that you gave your students choice in the...So great that you gave your students choice in their responses - that allows them to be authentic, I think. I am pushing for Wonder to be our readaloud book at the beginning of the school year - I've heard of other schools doing this, and I think it's the perfect book for starting middle school. So, that is my not so secret plot!Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.com
