Assessment for Today’s Classroom, Module 4 Slides We are different from where we came, But around the world we are all the same, It doesn’t matter from where we come, And we may all march to a different drum. We are different from where we came, But around the world we are all the same, Talents and skills we all possess, We like to help others achieve success. We are different from where we came, But around the world we are all the same, We may differ by the color of our skin, We care about others from within. We are different from where we came, But around the world we are all the same, So never make me feel ashamed, Because we are so different, but the same! By Diana Brown and Kathy Giroux
