| Empathy is the ability to identify with another person's feelings. The key to a successful relationship at all stages of life is the ability to see and feel things as others see and feel them. Roots of Empathy's mission is to build caring, peaceful and civil societies through the development of empathy. The heart of the program involves a local infant and parent who visit the classroom once a month for the school year. With a certified Roots of Empathy instructor, students are coached to observe the baby's development, celebrate milestones, interact with the baby and learn about an infants needs. Roots of Empathy is in its 7th year at McIsaac. We would like to welcome our Roots of Empathy families to the program for the 2008/2009 school year. We greatly appreciate our "Roots" parents for volunteering their time and for allowing us to learn and share in the growth and development of their child. Roots of Empathy will be delivered in the Kindergarten (am & pm), grade 3, and grade 5/6 classrooms. A big welcome to baby Drew, baby Corey, baby Genevieve, and baby Tesslynn! |
