Gratitude Journals

Can you believe it's already November?  The year certainly has flown by so far!  It's always a good idea to slow down every once in a while and think about all the things you are grateful for and November is a great month to do that.  This month, the students will be keeping a Gratitude Journal.  Each day, they will write one thing they're grateful for and why they're grateful for it.  They will also post a picture of that page in their journal on their Digital Portfolios so you can follow their journals daily.

Research has shown the positive effects of gratitude on the brain, and starting the practice of gratitude at a young age is a great way to help students develop healthy habits.  If you'd like more information on the scientific research behind gratitude, take a look at this article.

I hope you enjoy reading your child's Gratitude Journal every day and that it sparks fun and uplifting conversation at home!
