After reading the book Wonder, by R. J. Palacio, our family is focusing on kindness.
August Pullman has stolen my heart along with the hearts of millions of readers…including my 10-year-old. This book was AMAZING and a huge hit in our home!

Choose Kindness: Wonder Book Cootie Catcher
I created the Choose Kindness Wonder Book Cootie Catcher to help inspire my kid’s kindness toward others.
This activity is full of encouragement because we used Mr. Browne’s precepts from the Wonder book. You see, Mr. Browne’s precepts play an important role in the book.
Each month of the school year Mr. Browne introduces a new precept. For example;
“When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Such wonderful food for thought!
Then, I thought…why not create a partially blank cootie catcher, or origami fortune teller, so that the kids can write in their own precepts just like Auggie and his classmates did!
Want to do a study on the book Wonder? Be sure to check out Brave Writer’s Arrow Guide! It’s filled with passages for copy work, dictation, grammar lessons, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary, and precept writing activities!
If you are looking for more inspiring quotes and words of wisdom then be sure to check out 365 Days of Wonder. It is a lovely companion to the book.
