I absolutely love this class! It is so much fun.

We do fun projects in this class. I especially loved taking home the real care baby.

Wearing the empathy belly around school for a day was fun. It gave me a better understanding of what a pregnant woman goes through while doing daily tasks.

I learned so much about parenting, pregnancy, babies and kids, which I know will be beneficial when I get older and have my own kids.
