Empathy

As a class text assignment, Mrs. Adair inspired her students to explore Empathy and make personal connections.  Daria, one of Mrs Adair's Gr 3 students did just that.  Daria's text below is truly amazing!  Not only did Daria receive the class award for Empathy, but she also presented her text to all grades 1 - 3 students at the recognition assembly.  Congratulations Daria!  We are all very proud of you!

Here is what Daria wrote.
