Last week we read the book "A Color of His Own" by Leo Lionni.  We used this story as a springboard for a discussion about the importance of being yourself and accepting yourself and others just as they are, noting without colors of our own the world would be pretty boring.  After reading the story children created their own colorful chameleon using oil pastels and water color paint.  These unique and colorful chameleons are hanging on the bulletin board outside our classroom.
