Research from Emmons show that, “Children who practice
grateful thinking have more positive attitudes towards school and their
families.”
Sometimes we forget to
say thank-you or to appreciate what others do for us and we go about our daily
lives without ever stopping to think about how lucky we are for what we have. We asked the children to think about something that they have been grateful for and encourage the children to think about the simple things that parents or friends do
each day.
In the past month the children have been working on Gratefulness Journals. We read numerous stories on the importance of being thankful, such as, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and The Plane Tree by Aesop.

John F Kennedy firmly believed, “’We must find
time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives."
We also created a whole neighbourhood Gratefulness / Thankfulness quilt.
