Welcome students and introduce the session. Explain that today we’ll learn about gratitude and how we’ll plant seeds to help both our gardens and our kindness grow.

Read each objective aloud and relate to students’ experiences. Encourage them to think of one thing they’re grateful for as we go.

Ask students: “What does gratitude mean to you?” Summarize responses and highlight key ideas in the definition.

Show a picture of a seed growing into a plant. Explain that gratitude also needs kindness, attention, and care to grow.

Briefly show the materials and point to each as you speak. Invite students to hold or look closely if possible.

Demonstrate each planting step slowly. Invite one volunteer to help plant the class seed so students see the process.

Show a sample chart entry. Explain how students will record date, plant height, and observations each day.

Model filling out one reflection. Encourage students to think about why that thing makes them happy or thankful.

Invite a few volunteers to share their reflections and plant labels. Reinforce positive listening and supportive comments.

Encourage excitement and remind students of cleanup steps. Reinforce daily care and gratitude practice.
