First Grade learned about Empathy today! We read How do i Stand in your Shoes?, by Susan DeBell, Ph.D. In the story,
Miranda Peabody learns that empathy means trying to understand how her
classmates feel. Of course if we're trying to understand how others feel we have to a good feeling words vocabulary! We learned new feeling words using a silly Mood Swings
flip chart. First grade students also practiced showing empathy by guessing how
my stuffed animal friend felt when he could not find his favorite toy this
morning and when he got into my desk drawer and ate a whole bag of chocolate candy! The students demonstrated this by either writing feeling words or drawing a picture and sharing the feeling words.
