Teacher Tip
Pause on the line:
“We are all part of the story.”
Ask students:
What does this mean?
How are we connected to others?
What is your part in our class story?
 
This isn’t just a story—it’s an opportunity to build connection, spark conversation, and help students see themselves as part of something bigger.
