Odds and Ends and Ms. Beird's Big Week

Over the past year the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio has been exceptionally popular with our students.  So popular in fact that the Anderson family actually gave us a few hard cover copies of the book and journals that we will be raffling off during lunches.  The central theme of the book is being kind and compassionate and over the course of the year we will be reading quotes from another book the Anderson Family donated to the school called 365 Days of Wonder, also by R.J. Palacio. 

As we shared a different quote each day, teachers will be discussing the purpose and meaning with students.  Thank you to the Anderson Family for their generous donation!  Here are a couple of great quotes from the last couple of weeks.....

“Find Beauty in the world and the world will find beauty in you.”

“If there is no progress, there is no struggle.”

-       “Frederick Douglas

“You can’t have a rainbow without a little bit of rain.”

“When given the choice between being right or being kind, chose kind.”

-       Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
