Today we finished reading Wonder, by RJ Palacio. Not surprising, I'm sure, when I tell you this is one of my favorite books to read to kids. We had an amazing time reading it and connecting with a class in Chicago through Edmodo and sharing our thoughts, questions and concerns about the book.
One of the culminating projects I did with kids today was create a CHOOSE KIND sign to keep up in our classroom for years to come!
To create the sign, I printed out each letter on cardstock paper. I paired students together and had each pair design a different letter. They were asked to find a synonym of the word 'kind' that started with the letter they were given. Here is what they came up with:
C - Caring
H - Honesty
O - Optimistic
O - Open-Handed
S - Sympathetic
E - Empathy
K - Kind-Hearted
I - Integrity
N - Nice
D - Decency
I love this idea! What font did you use to type the letters?!
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah,
DeleteI found those bubble letters on Teachers Pay Teachers! You could also find an artistic student to draw them out for you :)
When do they usually arrive?
