Lesson Plan

Thanks a Bunch!

Students will identify and articulate things they are thankful for by defining gratitude, sharing examples, and creating a personalized gratitude leaf to add to a class gratitude jar.

Practicing gratitude builds empathy, boosts positivity, and fosters a supportive classroom community by helping students recognize and appreciate the good in their lives.
