Help us celebrate a
week of Wonder!
11/13/2017
This week, the Ohio Department of Education is celebrating the release
of the film Wonder, based on the best-selling book by R.J. Palacio.
Counting down to the film’s nationwide premiere on Friday, Nov. 17, the
Department asks Ohio’s educators and students to share their stories
and activities each day based on a theme from the book.
Wonder centers on the power of kind acts, meaningful peer connections
and strong adult mentors through the eyes of an extraordinary fifth
grader, Auggie Pullman, who is venturing into school with an
exceptional challenge.
The Department would be excited to have you share how you helped your
students grasp the inspiration of Auggie Pullman, his family and his
classmates, whether you showcased powerful mentors, worked from
teachable texts or simply pledged kindness as a classroom.
Celebrate and share this week of Wonder with us, and follow along on
Twitter and Facebook using #OhioWonderWeek.
Here’s a rundown of themes for #OhioWonderWeek:
All Week: #ChooseKind Challenge! Can we get at least 5,000 letters
spreading kindness to hospitalized children in Ohio by the end of
