The Smoky River-Peace River Express discovers the joys of being in a Roots of Empathy classroom:
Marie Anne Jones had to teach the program for a year before being classified as a “Roots of Empathy” instructor and having presented the class to Grades 1 and 2 and Grades 5 and 6 she is enthusiastic about the merits of the program.
“I think it’s fantastic,” she says. “As I said, so far I have done it with the lower Grades and the lower Grades are good too because it is tiered for them, but I just find the Grade 5 and 6 level are just so much more involved in it and getting more out of it.”
