In the United States, November is a time for us to focus on the things we're thankful for, and honestly, it's a useful thing for all of us to do. A practice of gratitude is beneficial personally, as part of your classroom culture, and for your personal health .

You don't need to wait for a holiday to kick start a Classroom of Gratitude, though. Get started with your students using any of these five practices, and you'll see the benefits in your students and their outlook at throughout the year!

One very simple way to get started is by having students keep a gratitude journal. It's a daily - or weekly - place to keep track of the positives in life. Each time you add to it, it's a small act. In time, looking back on your journal - after a month or a year - is very powerful!

This next creation is ideal as a Thanksgiving-centered activity. Students pick a group of people, whether it's their family, or a group of friends, or their classmates and create a multipage Thanks Book on Buncee to share their feelings of gratitude for them. This works well both if students send this home by email, or if they print off the PDF of their Thanks Book. Printed, this makes a nice addition for students to bring home to Thanksgiving dinner. Include a QR code for parents to access the digital version!

I'd like to thank my pal Linda Edwards for introducing me to Gratitude Snaps. Her students created Gratitude Snap Buncees in preparation for Canadian Thanksgiving last month. I f yo u clip your students' work, and stitch them together , it makes for a great class Gratitude Book!

A very simple way for students to show their thanks to the people in their lives is the simple act of writing a note. Again, whether your students send them by email, or they print them off, it's never a bad thing to show appreciation to the people who add value to your life. I've collected a few of them here on a Buncee Board because it's a good idea for students to use the commenting function to help each other proofread their work before sending!

For another take on expressing your thanks, skip the notes and make awards for the people who add to your life! It doesn't have to be winning a great contest, make awards for people who help you out, or because they're nice people. You can take this a step farther by inviting recipients to your class for an award ceremony!

As a closer, I'd just like to say, I'm grateful to for taking the time to read this! You're pretty fantastic.

Like most of my students, as a teacher I disliked using worksheets in my classroom. I felt like so many of them weren't meeting their objective. They don't connect to higher order thinking, they're not especially fun, they're easy to cheat on, and they're not fun to correct. To top it all off, half the time, the copy machine is out of toner again!

For years, after we would engage with the content, whether it was in a book, an interactive version online, or through videos that we took notes on, I would ask them to spend time creating based on what they'd learned. Originally, it was all construction paper and crayons. I loved it, they made cute work, and it was more memorable to them than if they'd filled out a worksheet. As time has gone on, though, and we've had better online tools, the kids increasingly asked to create digitally. During my last year of teaching, Buncee was the hit. "You can use any tools you want," I'd say, "Just create something sharable that shows what we learned about Photosynthesis." Invariably the request came back in several voices, "Can we use Buncee?" The answer was always the same - of course!

Having my students create examples of what they learned in Buncee had so many benefits. Their work was charming, memorable for them, and easy to check for me. As they created, the act of choosing how to represent what was in their brain made the learning stick. Our test scores got better in Science. Because Buncee saves everything automatically and stores students' work in an online portfolio, I never had to send home a study guide. One of the best things, though is that it was easy to see - and correct - their misconceptions. Think of it, if you spent 20 minutes drawing a beautiful poster, and then found out that your information is incorrect, you're going to be upset! Not so with Buncee. If you make a mistake, you can change that element without having to scrap the whole project!

The last things that really sealed the Buncee deal for me were the audio and video recording features. You know that your struggling readers and writers get frustrated when asked to give a written explanation. That goes away when they're using Buncee. The fun of digital creation is an easy sell to many of these same children, and when they know that they can use their voice or make a video instead of having to write, it's like they've been unchained!

If you haven't yet, consider using Buncee to curate what your students are learning in an interactive notebook. You'll be amazed at how connected they become to the content!
