INTERESTING READING: On page 127, under the caption, it talks about how “uniqueness is the most common characteristic of all children.” Then it asks you to look at the picture and pick out the unique characteristics of the children. I believe this would be a great exercise for primary teachers to do with their students. To help them understand what being different is, and how there is nothing wrong with being different or unique.
