Wonder - The book study and Precepts in the classroom exploration...
365 Days of Wonder: Mr. Browne's Precepts Paperback – August 30, 2016 by R. J. Palacio
In R. J. Palacio’s Wonder, readers were introduced to memorable English teacher Mr. Browne and his love of precepts. Simply put, precepts are principles to live by, and Mr. Browne’s selections celebrate kindness, hopefulness, the goodness of human beings, the strength of people’s hearts, and the power of people’s wills. Look inside this guide for suggestions on using precepts in your classroom. Our hope is that these ideas will not only touch the lives of the students, but people throughout their school, community, and beyond.

Finding your true self - reflections to share...
Seeking thoughts and reflections on this quote and article....

Fear and greed control us. As many of us know this is no way to live life.
Look deeply and sincerely within yourself and let me know if this statement is true. Inside, in your inner world you always project yourself “lower” than what you think you are, and outside what you present to the world you always project your self “higher” than what you actually inwardly feel yourself as.
