SEL Warm Up: Cultivating Thankfulness
As part of Thankful Thursday, let's cultivate thankfulness. Why do you think it is important to show gratitude to the people we care about in our lives? What are ways that you like to show people that you are thankful for being in your life?
Do you give gifts? Do you send texts to check in? Or do you offer a helping hand when it is asked? Everyone says thank you in their own special way.
