Appreciation

Relating to people and planet Earth with a deep sense of gratitude, positive regard, and joy.

Dimension Relating — Caring for Others and the World

For me

  • Who in my class have I not said anything appreciative to this week?
  • What am I grateful for in my profession – even on hard days?

For my class

  • Who helped you today without it being noticed?
  • What do you take for granted that is actually special?

In the classroom

  • Warm shower: one person sits in the middle, everyone names something they value about them.
  • A gratitude wall in the classroom, added to weekly.
