“Gratitude Jars” 🧡
Yesterday, Ms. Lister's students explored the meaning of gratitude—“feeling thankful or happy about something good in your life.”
They learned that gratitude doesn’t have to be about big things; sometimes, the simplest moments mean the most.
Each student chose things they’re grateful for and added them to their very own Gratitude Jar. 🌟 It was a heartwarming reminder to pause and appreciate the good in our lives.
What’s something you’re grateful for today? Let us know in the comments!
Kona Ice Time!
Next Friday.
