Principal's Message January 19, 2018
|
|
The book titled Wonder, by R.J. Palacio, has been recently followed by a movie with the same title. Our fourth grade students read the book and enjoyed a field trip to see the film as a group. At Fountain Hills Middle School, we have seen sticky-notes and Wonder-themed quotes around the building such as "Choose Kind," "When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind," and "To the world, you are one person, but to one person, you may be the world."
These messages resonate in a learning environment that includes five grade levels filled with students and teachers from varied backgrounds and experiences. Wonder is a book for all ages that takes the reader into the world of a fifth grade student with significant challenges who is new not only to his school, but to school itself. Each of the main characters has a different perspective on the past, present and future yet through their interactions, a deeper understanding of self and others is achieved and empathy is gained. Yes, this is a book/movie about bullying, it's about family and community, it's about recognizing the positive in self and others, and it's about choosing kind. I strongly encourage families to read the book or see the movie together (I just finished the novel myself). As we move forward in this second semester, help your students to choose kind, for they will receive kind in turn.
