This week, Kindergarten learned what it means to be compassionate and brainstormed different ways they could show empathy towards their neighbours. Then on Wednesday, we wore pink shirts in support of anti-bullying! The students were able to make meaningful connections between what they were learning in class to the significance of this day and understood the importance of walking in other people’s shoes in order to spread kindness!
