My Project

My 6th graders are at in interesting point their lives. Their brains are developing, allowing them to experience thoughts and emotions that are new to them. Navigating this time in their lives can be tricky, and can sometimes cause personal and social challenges.

My students began the year learning about empathy.

They are learning about empathy via a whole-class class read aloud. We are reading the book Restart by Gordon Korman. The students are loving this book so far. It tells of the effects of one person's behaviors from different perspectives. It will be very powerful for them to each of their own copy to annotate and draw connections.
