Grade 1 is not ordinary either! We are all different – that makes us special. We are happy we are not all the same!

Just like a puzzle, we need all of our differences to fit together and make our class special. when we don’t have all the different parts somehow, things just don’t seem as good!

Sometimes it is hard to be different. Elmer wanted to be the same as all the other elephants . . . But the other elephants liked Elmer just the way he was.

Be a rainbow! Be a star! Just be who you are!
