Teaching Gratitude

Are you preparing to discuss Thanksgiving in your classroom or with kids at home? Beyond the typical discussions about turkeys and Pilgrims, the holiday is an opportunity to teach children about gratitude—as explored in this post called “Why Gratitude Is Important for Children,” from KLA Schools of Brickell.My book Thank You for Me! is also a great introduction to gratitude for young readers and listeners. I was pleased to see it included on this list called “Thanks a lot! Six picture books that touch upon being grateful in this season of thanks and giving” from the Glencoe Public Library. You also may want to check out the post “15 Easy Thanksgiving Crafts that Teach Kids Gratitude” from the website Bren Did and You Can Too.
