April Family Groups - Empathy
Families,
Each month our students participate in "Family Groups." These Family Group activities are run by 5th graders and focus on the character trait of the month. If you'd like to participate from home, our April word of the month is Empathy. Ms. Faber has put together some optional activities for you to try at home with your family if you would want. Thank you!
