So based on William, Sari, and Alfredo's comments about feeling scared on the first day, that's when we worry about little things that others might not even think about (making friends, being the center of unwanted attention, not knowing where to go).  Being new highlights where we feel vulnerable: worrying about things that others might take for granted (meaning, not even consider as important because of their experiences). What does August have to deal with that the rest of us take for granted? How does taking some things for granted affect others who can't take those things for granted?

I think this book is great for learning about a very powerful moral

august is smart I know thins because the chapter we just read proved why he is smart

I think that Mr. Tushman saw how Jack Will and Auggie were getting along and wanted to put eachother next to eachother on purpose.

Your right! But I think his mom is gonna annoy him about that for the rest of the book!

I agree with Rachell and Sari I totally understand, you actually can never be to brave. I mean, I wasn't so brave on the first day.

like i was here can some of you guys tell me about the book yesterday

When it was the first day of school, I was still pretty loud and obnoxious. I am not exactly like August because I am so loud while Auggie is shy and quiet.

Auggie's pretty brave to have gone to school. I mean he's even greater than me.

I think this will be a good book for our class because it teaches kids that even if you are different from others you can still enjoy being with friends and to make friends that aren't going to make fun of you.

I aslo think August is funny and has a lot of Character Traits!

When Auggie went to school he knew exactly where to go and exactly which room to go but I didn't know where to go on my first day at Lakewood.

When I went to school I was really scared because my mom told me where to go on my first day and then I forgot because I have a bad memory.(forgot my sweater yesterday)

I agree with Rachell because i'm pretty shy and if I looked like him I would literally lock my self in my room so I could not go in pubic. (not to be offensive)

I like this book because August is funny but also sometimes scared which means he has a lot of character traits.

I agree with Rachell because when It was the first day of Kindergarten I wasn't that brave. I was really scared that people would make fun of me. But then I realized that it was there first day of school too so we were all new to the school.

Since August is really brave to go to school for the first time and to not really be scared about it, is a really big deal for him. I don't think that I would be able to do that for the first time and to be brave like that but at least I would try.

I know that many teachers pair new students with buddies to help support them through being new at school. Were any supports put in place for Auggie? What kind of school is it based on what they did or didn't do for him as a new student?

Connection to William

Reply to Dr. Cheng
Well they did show august around and one of my first friends EVER showed me around they never showed august One of the places I think it was the science room, For an example one of my friends dident show me the bathrooms because he expected me to know where they were . The next day I figured out Where the bathrooms were. Well not exactly but thats not really important I guess... for ANOTHER example my first day my mom dropped me off,Spilled my water bottle,slipped and fell,got up, went to class (Kinder) and everyone looking at me while over here trying to have a good day (kindergarten again if you dident know when this happend ).

I am really enjoying reading this book because it seems so realistic.  I feel like I can connect to Auggie because he is funny but also scared of new situations.  He is pretty brave to go to school for the first time.
