**ROOTS OF EMPATHY**
=== I am very happy to say that we have had a very successful ROOTS program for the last two years and are fortunate enough to be running it again this year. I will be running the program with this year's Grade 4 students. Every month we will have a baby come into the classroom and watch him grow, learning all about the development of babies, the very important relationship between parent and child, and reflecting on our own thoughts and feelings creating a deeper sense of empathy within ourselves. Our baby this year is Ben Corr, son of Mr. Patrick and Mrs. Felicity Corr! Thank you to the Corrs for participating in the ROOTS program with us! If you have any questions about the program, please give me a call. ===
