PB Counselor's Corner:
Empathy. This month at Powell Butte, the school value we are focusing on is empathy. Empathy is the ability to imagine how someone else is feeling in a particular situation and respond with care. This is a skill that can be developed and taught. Below are some resources to help your child learn more about empathy.

Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson - Read Aloud English
Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson - En Español
Check out the great article, "The Importance of Showing Empathy to Kids Who Learn and Think Differently" by Amanda Morin
