Second Step - During the third quarter of the school year Team Lincoln will learn about empathy and kindness. When students have empathy and show kindness, they are able to understand and care about how others are feeling. Children learn to listen, include others, and respond with compassion through their words and actions. These skills help create a safe and supportive classroom, strengthen friendships, and teach students how to be respectful and caring members of their school community. Learn how you can support this at home!
