It all boils down to the fact that they don't take the time to understand each others. I love the idea of doing an empathy study. My third graders would benefit in so many ways. Thank you for the wonderful idea and list. All of the books I could think of have been listed by others in your comments. A truly powerful list.Elizabeth G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01947997210196544386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-10701434406078489472012-02-23T19:49:33.866-05:002012-02-23T19:49:33.866-05:00There should be a radio button beside each shelf y...There should be a radio button beside each shelf you've made.

I read Wonder this weekend, and was immensely touched by its message. An empathy tub is a wonderful idea - your titles are great, and I love the titles being suggested here in the comments. <br />I don't do "have to" reads often, but think the idea of reading a book with the theme of empathy could lead to some very rich conversations! Thanks for being such a smart friend.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549453373381775445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-63439294125129259262012-02-22T07:40:26.106-05:002012-02-22T07:40:26.106-05:00Carol sent me to you first thing this morning...sa...Carol sent me to you first thing this morning...said we were on the same wavelength today!

Over the weekend I read WONDER and decided to put aside the book I was reading aloud and introduce it to my kids right away, today. You have already included a lot of the books I would put on my empathy shelf, but I will look at my books today and see what other ones I come up with. Thanks, as always, for pushing me to be a better teacher and human being!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-45558163809697527032012-02-22T05:45:46.125-05:002012-02-22T05:45:46.125-05:00Love this post.
