If you have read R.J. Palacio's novel Wonder you know how special the story is. Wonder is a book about a boy who is not seen by the world like a normal kid. R.J. Palacio has written a picture book simple version of how to be kind to all people. The pictures are simple, but very meaningful. I plan to read this book at the beginning of the school year to discuss how we are not all the same and it is O.K. The world would be a boring place if everyone was exactly alike. I think my pre-k students will love this book and the story will help me teach them how to be kind to each other. I teach a blended half-day pre-k class where some of my students have developmental delays or physical delays. My co-teacher and I like to help the students understand that we are all special. Along with the idea that everyone does not learn the same way and that is O.K. We also supplement our social/emotional development curriculum with Dan St. Romain materials and Filling Buckets.
