Wonder Activities

This blog post is a work in progress as we're currently reading Wonder in class. I'll add to it as we incorporate more activities.

We are doing this as a read-aloud, since we don't have enough copies for a class set. I wanted to keep my students engaged, so I decided to create reading response journals.

I sent them to a {free website} to generate their own Wonder faces. Once they were created, they shared the design for Facebook (the square one that people can use for a profile picture) with me. I inserted them into a PowerPoint and layered a text box on top for their names. Then I used packing tape to attach them to memo books. (Affiliate links are included below. It won't cost you anything extra, but it does throw a few cents my way.)
I thought about what I wanted them to write about in their notebooks, and since yesterday was the first day back from break, my brain was not working. However, I remembered that I had the free Daily Wonder app on my phone that had a great writing prompt that day.

So on days where I can't think of a natural writing prompt to go with the day's reading, I'm going to pull this up! The last thing that I have today are some brag tags that I'm going to share with my students. If you click on the image, you can download it from Google Drive.
