Today we talked about empathy, thinking about how someone else is feeling. We read the book, Fly Away Home. Students were asked to find examples in the text where the main character showed empathy for others. We also discussed how we can demonstrate empathy in the classroom. One example that was discussed was how we react when partners are chosen. Ask your child about this conversation, it was a great discussion. We ended the lesson in the computer lab, typing about our experiences with empathy by putting ourselves in someone else's shoes.
