Many kids make friends throughout life and some go and some stay. Do you have any friends that you have had for a long time? What qualities kept you in contact with that person? youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413371739 2022-12-07 19:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413371739 During his lifetime, Auggie had a lot of surgeries and of course that took a lot of attention away from Via. How did she respond to this? Do you think it made the relationship between her and Auggie better or worse? youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413374879 2022-12-07 19:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413374879 As a parent and/or educator, what parts during the story did you become emotional or even angry? I would get upset every time he said people stared or asked him what was wrong with his face. youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413377573 2022-12-07 19:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413377573 In this story, there are kids that are compassionate and understanding and those that were mean and bullied Auggie. Can you think of your childhood and some of these kids? Or even as an educator, do you see this in your classroom or school? youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413380233 2022-12-07 19:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413380233 Via had a special relationship with her grandmother. Her grandmother said there were a lot of people looking out for Auggie, but she would always look out for Olivia first. Did you have a special relationship with any of your grandparents? What was that like? youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413382657 2022-12-07 19:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413382657 What are your thoughts on Auggie waiting so long to go to school? Do you think they waited too long, right time, or should have waited? Why? youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413386928 2022-12-07 19:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413386928 In life, how do you overcome challenges? youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413388128 2022-12-07 19:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413388128 In this story, one thing that came up a lot was betrayal. Have you been betrayed? How does that make you feel as an adult? How do you think it makes kids feel? youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413389894 2022-12-07 19:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413389894 Another thing that came up a lot was obviously bullying. This happens everyday in homes, classroom, anywhere. What are some things we can do as parents and teachers to help with this problem? How can we reach out and make a difference? youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413391532 2022-12-07 19:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413391532 This is more of a comment, but if you ever do book studies in your classrooms, this is amazing. I kept thinking about how every classroom could use this the first week of school to teach some very good lessons. youngjanel https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413392711 2022-12-07 19:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/youngjanel/flfj3s7y0tthj1g5/wish/2413392711
