Throughout this term I am spending time in a number of classes to talk the students about Gratitude.

We have discussed what Gratitude is, the types of things we have to be thankful for, how to exercise our Gratitude muscle, what it means to have an Attitude of Gratitude, and why being grateful is beneficial to us!

In 3J we learnt that begin grateful helps us to be healthier, sleep better, be more generous with our time and money, and have better relationships with our family and friends. We also made a Gratitude Web, connecting us with each other and all the things we are thankful for!

In 1O, we talked about our Gratitude Muscle and how we can make it bigger and stronger. We also heard that, while we can’t always choose what happens to us, we can always choose how we respond. We can choose to look for the good in our lives and practice Gratitude. Then we made beautiful flowers to remind us of all the things we have to be grateful for!
