A new student with sensory challenges transforms her class's perspective on feeling different.
Winnie, the new student, experiences the world uniquely, often acting wild. Her insightful teacher encourages classmates to embrace her perspective. As they join her in playful adventures, from jungle gyms to cozy dens, they learn that feeling differently is perfectly okay. Will this newfound understanding create a more inclusive classroom?
New student Winnie has sensory processing challenges, but her wonderful teacher knows just how to make sure she’s a welcome part of the class. Winnie is the new kid at school, and sometimes she acts kind of wild. Her teacher says to her classmates, Maybe Winnie feels the world differently than most of us. Why don’t we give her world a try? So that week, when Winnie can’t stop monkeying around, the class joins her on the jungle gym. And when she’s acting squirrelly, they all go nuts on an obstacle course. When Winnie is being a bit of a bear, the whole class burrows into a cozy den for storytime. Soon, with the guidance of their loving teacher, Winnie’s classmates realize that sometimes we all feel the world differently, and that’s more than okay.
