With Thanksgiving coming up next week, I thought now would be a great time to share some ways students can express and practice gratitude and thankfulness in the classroom. I think all teachers know that we don't only teach subjects but social skills as well and thankfulness is key. Here are ten ideas to get started!
1. Write a letter to someone that they are thankful for.
2. Draw a picture of something they are thankful for.
3. Have a classroom food drive or other community service project.
4. Create a graphic organizer brainstorming things they are thankful for.
5. Create a thankful chain by having students write their thanks of strips of paper before connecting them.
6. Research a quote about thankfulness and explain how they understand it.
7. Create a classroom graph of what students in the class are thankful for.
8. Create a top 10 list of things to be thankful for.
9. Read a book about thankfulness.
10. Keep a classroom gratitude journal.
