I work at an elementary school in MA third grade classroom. It's amazing so far, we read it to our room and the kids have so many questions and are so puzzled by the reactions of some of the characters to Auggie.
I don't know whether it is because of the distance they feel towards the characters and our reality but some of our students couldn't grasp why and how people could be so mean...such strong reflection within a few chapters I can't wait to read the rest before the movie haha.
It seems the younger we are... the nicer we are lol. It sounds like you work with some great kids!
yeah theyre okay :) a lot of them I had last year in the second grade classroom and I know they are wonderful leaders.
