As we get ready to welcome new children to our Seedlings Class, their teacher has prepared a book for parents to share with their children.

The seedlings class participated in Pink T-Shirt day by wearing their pink shirts, doing activities, and reading books that teach about empathy, compassion, and kindness. One of the activities the class did was called "wrinkled heart". The students all had a paper cut out heart and Emma asked the them for examples of things that people say or do that hurts their feelings.
