We had a "Roots of Empathy" lesson today. We talked more about emotions. We brainstormed different kinds of emotions and circumstances that might lead to these different emotions. Mrs. Macdonell talked to the students about understanding their own emotions, as well as those of other people. We can "read" peoples' body language and facial expressions to help us understand how they are feeling.
We want to learn different strategies to deal with emotions positively and what we can do to help others when they feel sad, angry/mad, or scared. This is called "empathy".
