 Dear Mrs. Palacio,

 Our class has just finished reading the book Wonder and I wanted to express some of my thoughts, reactions and opinions with you on this Wonderful book. This book has inspired me to not only write more, but to read more too. From reading more I have found the book Auggie & Me also written by you. After reading Wonder I wanted to see if there were other books that you have made. You are one of my favorite authors and I love the theme that you have slowly put into this book. Although I haven't read Auggie and Me yet I would really like to read it very soon.

 Years from now, I know I'll remember all the characters and the characters personalities from the book Wonder. The main character, August Pullman is brave and kind, and never gives up. He is strong and healthy. Although he goes through many problems, he still ends up making everything better at the end.

Another book I really like that you made is called 365 Days of Wonder {Mr. Brown's Book of Precepts}. It's such a great idea to make a third book and make it about quotes for each day for one year since it connects to the actual book Wonder. I love the quotes that you put into it and again love the idea.

One of my favorite parts of Wonder is when Jack badmouths Auggie to Julian at the Halloween parade and Jack doesn't know why Aggie is avoiding him, Summer gives Jack the hint of Bleeding Scream and he finally figures it out in one of the classes when he is extremely bored and starts thinking about one topic and finds out that the whole thing was definitely his fault.

Finally, I think the big and important message in this book is DON"T JUDGE PEOPLE BY WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, don't judge a book by it's cover.

Sincerely,
Maya M.

Camp Learned A Lot

Today is our first day of Camp Learned A Lot. I had lots of fun. After Morning meeting we had sing-a-longs witch means we sang two songs. After that we had world languages and then snack and recess. We then had to present our second grade presentations to the three second grade classes. We had a pizza party after that and then we did something called mail call witch is when our parents sent us a letter and we write them back and after that we had art. So the very last thing we did at the end of the day was that we played a game out side called Flying Dutchman. How you play the game is you make a circle and two people are out side of the circle. The two out of the circle walk around it and choose two people and then all of them have to run to try to get to the other side. If the people that chose the two runners get tagged by the other people they go in the middle.
