Today, we’re going to explore a special story called “We’re All Wonders.” This story is written and illustrated by R.J. Palacio. Are you ready to dive into a world full of wonders? Let’s go!
In this story, we meet a boy named Auggie. Auggie is just like you and me. He loves to play, laugh, and have fun. But there’s something unique about Auggie. He looks a little different from other kids. And that’s okay because everyone is special in their own way!
Auggie has a big imagination. He dreams of going on amazing adventures. Sometimes, he pretends to be an astronaut flying through space. Can you imagine flying past stars and planets? Wow, what a wonderful adventure!
In the story, Auggie teaches us something very important. He shows us that being kind and understanding is what really matters. Even if someone looks different, we should always be friendly and nice. We can all be friends and have fun together!
Auggie helps us see that everyone is a wonder. That means everyone is special and amazing in their own way. Just like Auggie, you are a wonder too! Isn’t that exciting?
Remember, it’s great to be different. Our differences make the world a colorful and exciting place. So, let’s celebrate who we are and be kind to everyone we meet. We can make the world a happier place by being friendly and caring.
From Auggie’s story, we learned that everyone is special, and being kind is super important. We also learned that having a big imagination can take us on amazing adventures. So, let’s always be kind and use our imaginations to explore the wonders around us!
Thank you for joining me on this wonderful journey with Auggie. Remember, you are a wonder too!
Wonder Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or school and look for things that make you say “Wow!” It could be a colorful flower, a friendly dog, or a cool-shaped cloud. Draw a picture of your favorite wonder and share it with your friends. Talk about why you think it’s special and how it makes you feel.
Kindness Jar: Create a “Kindness Jar” at home or in the classroom. Every time you do something kind for someone, write it down on a small piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read all the kind things you’ve done. Discuss how being kind made you and others feel. Can you think of new ways to be kind?
Imagination Station: Use your imagination just like Auggie! Pretend you are an astronaut, a deep-sea diver, or a jungle explorer. What do you see, hear, and feel on your adventure? Draw a picture or tell a story about your journey. Share your adventure with your family or friends and ask them about their imaginary adventures too!
