Did you know? This year, SAC funded a Roots of Empathy program in Ms. Smith’s class. We asked Ms. Smith to share a bit about the experience. Here’s her report: “This year, Ms. Smith's grade 4/5 class participated in the Roots of Empathy program, where a community member, ’Mama Kathryn’ brought her baby, ‘Baby Alex’ in for regular visits over the course of the year. “With the help of Roots of Empathy facilitator, Ms. Passmore, students got to learn about empathy through watching Baby Alex grow over the course of the year. Students also learned about how to safely care for a baby, and connected this information to their own lived experiences, and what kind of care makes them feel safe and comfortable. “Students were in awe every time that the baby visited, as she was always noticeably bigger and had gained a new and impressive skill. What a wonderful way to bond with our classmates!” What a win-win! We hope to bring Roots of Empathy back to Dovercourt next year. In the meantime, please enjoy these photos of Baby Alex in the classroom with Grade 4/5 students! Comments are closed.
