Wonders to Use Throughout the Year

On Friday, I was talking with a colleague who is planning on using Wonderopolis in her classroom on a daily basis for the first time this year.  I was sharing some Wonders with her that I thought would be useful to use during the school year.  I offered to compile a list for her and my second grade team.  I thought they may be useful for others too.

Wonders for Building a Classroom Community
A Wonder to Share at Open House or Curriculum Night with Parents
Reading Workshop
Writing Workshop 
Famous Americans
American Symbols
Inventors/Inventions
Map Skills
Space
U.S. Holidays
Election
Plants
General Science
Weather
Animal Adaptations
