Dive into the world of Eleanor Estes’ The Hundred Dresses in this engaging two-week online course! Designed for students ages 10-15, this class combines reading, discussion, and writing to explore important themes like empathy, kindness, and standing up for what’s right.
The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes is a beautifully written, precious story that blends a timeless message with wonderful storytelling. This Newbery Honor-winning book offers readers a chance to explore themes like empathy, kindness, courage, and self-reflection. It's an ideal choice for students ready to dive into discussions about morality, inclusion, and personal growth.

In the story, we meet Wanda Petronski, a quiet girl from a poor immigrant family who is teased by her classmates for wearing the same faded blue dress every day. One day, she surprises everyone by claiming she has a hundred dresses at home — a statement that sparks curiosity, disbelief, and more teasing. As the story unfolds, Wanda's secret is revealed in a way that challenges her classmates to rethink their actions and attitudes.

This course will go beyond simply reading the book.
During live sessions, students will read the book together, analyze its characters and themes through guided discussions, and learn to craft thoughtful responses using the RACE strategy (Restate, Answer, Cite, Explain). Peer reviews and collaborative feedback will help students sharpen their writing skills.

The course culminates in a creative project where students can express their understanding of the story through art, writing, or storytelling. This is a unique opportunity to build critical thinking and writing skills in a fun, supportive environment!
