Imagination Theater- February 15th (This is a 1/2 day for Students)
Description:
Empathy is a skill that, like our muscles, needs to be exercised, stretched, and flexed. Students learn to recognize and identify a variety of feelings in order to make emotional connections with their peers.
There is also a PARENT NIGHT that component that we are finalizing. We are also 90% confirmed for the evening of February 13th for the parent component, but Judy is out of the country right now. She is going to get back to me with details. We may even look to invite other parents for all of our D44 Schools..... Very Exciting.
Imagination Theater has again collaborated with 2011 Illinois School Social Worker of the Year Judy S. Freedman, LCSW, MSW, to help students and their families discover that when we walk in someone else’s shoes, we walk together. Parents and guardians are key players in empathy development and training! SEE THE VIDEO BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION
