Teachers, save “Gratitude Journal Entry 1 (Jan. 2023)” to assign it to your class.

We know that 2022 was a challenging year for people, and to many it was a hard year and one that they are happy to leave in the past. For others, 2022 was a good year, when they made new friends or got back to traveling, or did both of these things and more. Your job is to think back over the year and share three positive things that you are thankful for. These are the times or lessons or people or activities that you want to remember and keep with you as we move into 2023. Make this personal to you, and be honest and thoughtful with your choices. Things to consider: Did you meet new people? Find new ways to connect? Do things differently at home or school or both? Did you learn new skills, hobbies, sports, games, etc.? Do you value certain people more, and cherish time with them? Did you learn more about yourself as a person? Have you developed better habits? Have you traveled more? Choose 3 things to add to this gratitude journal. Use the provided template to share your response. * Use to add text responses telling what the three things are. * Use to share your thoughts and feeling about each of the three things. * Use to add photos or video of the people, places, things, that you mention - if you want to, or can do. * Use to add previously taken photos, or notes, or evidence from a computer, phone, or tablet - if you want to.
