The Invisible Boy

Today we listened to the story "The Invisible Boy" and talked about this month's virtue of empathy. This story is about a boy who feels like he is invisible because he is excluded from playing with his peers and feels like he is not heard. We practiced empathy by putting ourselves in the characters shoes and sharing about a time we felt invisible or left out. We decided that it feels a lot better to be included in activities than to be excluded from them. For art, we drew a picture of a person and colored them in black and white on one side and color on the other. Our next step is to add times where we have felt excluded and times were we have felt included. Talk to your student about empathy and how we can show this in everyday life.
