As we near the end of the term, the classroom energy can get... let's say, a little extra. Sound familiar? 😉 That’s why this week, I want to share 5 powerful  questions you can ask your students to foster an attitude of gratitude while bringing focus and positivity into the room.

IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

  • Why gratitude is powerful: The benefits for both students and teachers.
  • 5 key questions to foster an attitude of gratitude: Easy, thought-provoking prompts that spark connection and reflection.
  • How to make gratitude work for all students: Ideas for engagement, even for those reluctant to participate.


HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS IN ONE PLACE:

  1. What is something that you are glad for every day?
  2. Look around the classroom and find one object you are grateful for. Why?
  3. When was the last time you belly laughed?
  4. What do you most look forward to when you wake up in the morning?
  5. What’s one thing that makes you say, ‘I’m glad to be me’?

Pro tip: Model your own answers to these questions first—it helps students think creatively and feel comfortable sharing!
