unique; there is no one who looks, feels, thinks and acts exactly like I do.
·
I feel
different ways at different times for different reasons.
·
I am part
of a family and a classroom community.
·
My family
is important and unique.

My
classroom is a community. All of the people in my class are important and
unique.

I can
help make my classroom a fun, safe and exciting place.
