Empathy and a New Student

We will be having a new student join our class on Tuesday. 

As a part of preparing, we read a discussed the book The Brand New Kid by Katie Couric.  It is about a new student and his feelings.  The part of story that we really talked about is when one student in his class decides she can help him fit in and she gets to know him and spends time with him.

We also started our Empathy unit.  The first lesson included:
          - practice reading someone's feelings based on verbal, physical and situational clues.
          - recognizing different people can have different points of view and feelings on the same situation.
          - understanding that people's feelings can change within the context of a situation.

Happy Monday!
