EMPATHY AND KINDNESS During today’s Morning Program, Mrs. Feeney spoke with our elementary students about the importance of empathy and kindness. She explained what empathy means, offering several examples to help students understand how we can recognize and relate to others' feelings. She also talked about kindness, giving examples of actions that show care and compassion. Students learned that empathy is about feeling with someone, while kindness is about taking action to help. Mrs. Feeney presented different scenarios and asked students to decide whether they were examples of empathy or kindness. Students then shared their own ideas about how they can show empathy and kindness to others. Great job and participation, everyone!
