Empathy and Bucket-Filling

This month we've been discussing Empathy. In K-1 we talked about being a Bucket Filler and next we'll watch Murray from Sesame Street learn what empathy is when someone understands how he feels when he loses his teddy bear (always a favorite!). In 2-3, we read the book, Empathy is Your Super Power. In the book, the author says "Sometimes you might want to tell other people how you feel. When you have an Empathy super power, other people might want to tell you how they feel, too, because they know you will be kind." In 4-5 we worked on some perspective taking and what that feels like to put yourself in someone else's shoes.
