Our GT pullout classes started off this year with a two-week social emotional unit in which we looked at our differences and others'. After reading Eggbert in grades 1-3, we decided it was ok to be different like Eggbert the main character, and we documented a time when we felt "cracked" as he did. One of the Big Ideas of this book is that we should be "true to ourselves" even if we fall into a Pattern of trying to do what others do. In the end, we need to find our own solutions, and many of us explained how we fixed the time when we felt "cracked".
