A lifelong journey in education.

Raise your hand if you told your students to say “thank you” or “be appreciative” without any further explanation. ✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻 I know I have! After lots of reflection and conversation, I realized my students didn’t really know what it meant to have a grateful heart. Saying “thank you” was something they did out of habit, but didn’t truly understand the meaning! That’s why I decided to include Gratitude in my Character Education curriculum! I want my students to be appreciative of everything they have, and understand that being grateful is more than just a few words! It’s in the way we respond and our actions too! My favorite teaching point is someone with a grateful heart doesn’t constantly ask for more! Now is the perfect time to introduce these lessons, but they can be taught all year long!
