Culminating Project Begins for Kindness PBL

As you know we have been using the book WONDER by R.J. Palacio to help teach kindness.  The main character, Auggie, was born with a facial deformity and was always home schooled because of the dozens of operations he's had to undergo.  His family also wanted to protect him from other children's stares and unkindness's because of the way he looked.  When the book starts out we find out that all this is about to change because his parents think it's time to take their chances and enroll him at Beecher Prep.
 
We hope to spread some kindness in the coming months by making a webpage to educate family and friends about an organization called CCA that helps children with cranio-facial deformity. We are in the process of studying script writing so that each class can write a script and perform it to help spread information about this great organization. You may want to check it out!

So stay tuned and keep up with our progress as we try to make a difference in the world!

Plans for Upcoming Field Trip:

 

 

The Historic Brattonsville Field Trip is November 12th.  Money and permission slips are due this Friday.  Two chaperones will be selected soon from the approved school list.  Be sure to have all cafeteria money paid in full by then.

This is a Revolutionary War Living History Museum.  Actors will be dressed authentically from this time period and will re-tell history as it happened to Col. Bratton and his family on their plantation.  We will walk their plantation and learn first hand what it was like to be a patriot or a loyalist.
