It is not every day that 2,500 Round Rock ISD students ranging from 3rd through 12th grade gather in one location to hear a New York Times Bestselling author speak about a book they have all read. Wow!
February 10, 2014 was a very special day in Round Rock. Every librarian in the district brought a group of students to the Round Rock Sports Center to hear Author R.J. Palacio speak about choosing kind and her bestselling book, Wonder.
As groups were arriving, we watched several student-made book trailers for Wonder on large projection screens.
After several introductions and presentations, our students intently listened to R.J. Palacio’s words.
45 England Leopards in 3rd-5th grade who had read Wonder were chosen at random from a drawing to attend the Field Trip. It was such a wonderful experience, and I know our students took a great deal away from the event!
