What is Roots of Empathy?


Roots of Empathy is a program that Early Childhood Educators implement in
Kindergarten classes to help teach emotional literacy and empathy. Roots of
Empathy's mission is to build caring, peaceful, and civil societies through the
development of empathy in children and adults (rootsofempathy.org). We are
lucky to have Miss Mallory and her almost 4 month old son, Sam, visit our
classroom once a month to learn about the changes that Baby Sam is making
each month and how we should be interacting with him. We have had one
