For example lets say you don´t have any money to buy a meal and a friend came and helped you out. You would remember that moment in life and you would have gratitude. This is what is gratitude.]]> 2020-11-17 18:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933129417 Paris Andrews 3031490 https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933151615 I think the meaning of Gratitude   is showing your appreciation  for a return for kindness. for example if you do something for someone and show them respect that will show them they can also respect you and do things for you  also. Also meaning to be thankful for what you have.]]> 2020-11-17 18:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933151615 Michael Florentino Luis https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933161374 Gratitude means to me that being thankful for anything you get is like a gift in return. It’s is very hard to be thankful because maybe you wanted something else for like Christmas or just in general. The small things is what matters the most. Most people want expensive things like a phone, laptop and etc. Being thankful will not only give you something in return but it also makes the person who got you something feel nice and happy for themselves because they  are the one who are trying to make you happy. If you are being thankful for the cheap things your parents or somebody can save up money so they can get you what you wanted for a really long time. Then, you can be grateful for yourself trying to be patient. - Michael Florentino Luis]]> 2020-11-17 18:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933161374 Divyanshi Chaurasia 3013889 https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933163475 Gratitude means to appreciating something. It could be for when you forgot something but someone gave you there's and shared it with you. If someone gives you something you should be grateful to them and thank them for giving it to you. If you do something nice and share a pencil to someone or give a gift to someone that person will be thankful and appreciate you. When you give someone something don't ask for anything in return. For example you give your friend a pencil in class don't ask for her or him to do your homework in return. You should be happy you get to make someone else happy by giving them something. That's what gratitude means to me.]]> 2020-11-17 18:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933163475 Nishi Surana 3024885 https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933190290 What gratitude means is to be thankful, to show appreciation and to return kindness. For instances is how someone would feel if their friend did something exceptionally nice for them. They would remember as well as never forget the things those things that someone did and that made there day.

Here is something I made up:

FRIENDS
"The sunshine after rainfall,
The autumn colors, 
The needle that sews you up,
The calculator that helps you out,
The song that's stuck in your head,
The food to feed your pup,
The happiness in your life,
"Friends"

For example appreciating the small things in life, like ladybugs pigments, and spiders thread. But also being able to feel the air on your skin on a cool day. 3026509 https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933420962 2020-11-17 18:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933420962 Arnav Rastogi, A lot of people have copied me, whelp. My original idea = busted. Also, please no body change my writing. :) I need help, my text is stuck, I'm sorry for these issues. https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933498370 Gratitude means the inner appreciation for something, someone else had done for you. It is a way to show how thankful you are to them as you smile your heart out. For example,  when someone really needs your help, you being there for them is a great way to show your gratitude to them. It is also a good situation to show your gratitude when you were in a similar situation like them. It also means, the happiness you get from the small and the little things in life. Being appreciated by them is a great way to make your friend, family member, or anyone body, cherish by your own happiness.

"Gratitude is a feeling that cannot be purchased with the power of money, it is a feeling which is much greater than money." by me.]]> 2020-11-17 19:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933498370 Tanya Naresh https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933498392 Gratitude is a unique feature for a human which allows you to be grateful, effortful, and full of spirit to appreciate the world to be what you are today as if you were a clay at the beginning and your family,  friends, teachers, and mainly God to shape your ideas, beautiful spirit, and your imagination which makes us all different and so interesting. For example, you shared a personal toy to your friend they will usually respond "Thank You" which sounds plain but since you shared with them it will hold a thought that the toy has a sentimental feeling which lets them know you are the person they can trust, you have inspired them to do the same having the people in our daily lives smile which is all of our top priority. To conclude, gratitude means to have moments in your life to inspire, appreciate, and be kind to others but it's not the only meaning if we look at ourselves we can make a difference in someone else's life too since we all have the capabilities to do anything in distinct ways and still we can do the same thing to have happiness within our hearts. This is what gratitude means to me.

It lets you be who you are in your inner self without anyone commenting about it. When someone trusts you, knows you will love them just the way you are and that you will be there for them wherever you are you know that person is full of gratitude. When you get trusted by someone do not take advantage of it and use it to show off. Use it to become more trusted. Graditude is a very important component in the pot. Without gradtitude in the pot it's just a plain old pot. Appreciate what you have now. Who knows maybe tommorrow you will be appreciated for the best person on Earth! Show Gratitude towards everything in life. It may bring some suprises!]]> 2020-11-17 19:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933531330 Kamila Saavedra https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933548641 What Is Gratitude? Gratitude is the quality of being thankful: readiness to show  appreciation to others for and to return kindness. For example- ´´She expressed her gratitude to the committee for their support. Some people say that Gratitude is one of the many positive of the emotions.It is about focusing about what´s good for our lives and being thankful for the things we have.]]> 2020-11-17 19:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/933548641 Sahasra Velisetti https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/934207792 I think gratitude means being respectful and kind.Also being grateful for what you have.The more you have gratitude in yourself the more you be successful.For instance, I am grateful for my family,friends,food,a house to live in,clothing,and even the breath I am taking today. ]]> 2020-11-17 22:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/934207792 Jia Patel https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/934768003 Gratitude is a characteristic that mean/shows kindness and care for others or yourself. It also means appreciating everything that you own. It helps you you express yourself without anyone judging. When someone shows how thankful you can be. The more that you have gradtitude the more you have to life. For example I’m grateful for my home,family,friends,food,water  clothing I own etc. The more you are grateful you will have positive feedback and you will have a better future and a better mindset. Without gratitude life is plain. Appreciate what is given to you and the best will happen one day. Show gratitude toward everything you come across in your entire life time. It will bring you many positive surprises in your lifetime.*****

"You get what you get and you don't get upset" is a saying of gratitude. If someone gives you something they put there time and effort in you should be very appreciative. You should always show gratitude with everything. Your friends and family, your house, your food and water, and everything else in your life that you enjoy. Let say you get a gift, even if you don't like it, you show still show gratitude because they spend there money on that gift to make you happy.

Often times we miss the little things that we have and take them for granted. In  my opinion, granted and gratitude sound very similar and in a way they are also connected. Our families are one of the things we take for granted. Our parents are there for us everyday to ask about how our day went yet how many of us actually ask them about their day? We forget to appreciate them sometimes. Just saying a simple thank you or a smile is showing them that we care for them and are thankful for them.  There are so many people in this world who don't get to have those people  who take care of them just because they love them. The things that we take the most  granted for are also the things we should be the most grateful for.To me a simple thank you and a smile is gratitude.  ]]> 2020-11-18 23:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/939285188 Sriyutha Kolagani 3010096 https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/939504713 Gratitude is your thankfulness to anything that makes you yourself. It is what you show of your feelings to someone/something that makes you feel happy and full on the inside. By showing gratidute, you are appreciating the fact of that someone or something being in your life. I am grateful for pretty much everything in my life because I am happy with who I am. Sure, things right now could be a little better with the internet and things like that, but I would have it no other way. My family, friends, home, possessions, pets, and all the things that have been in my life all matter because they make me who I am. I’m even thankful for the bad memories like me getting lost in a huge waterpark because they give me an idea of what to do next time when I face a similar problem. They all shape my personality and thought process. I cannot imagine my life without a single one of them. ]]> 2020-11-19 01:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/939504713 Bhavana Mandava 30302241 https://padlet.com/kathrynjacobs/dva4yap7vzui4wdk/wish/942813799 Gratitude is the feeling of being grateful.When somebody helps you,your grateful for the help and express it by saying thank you.This is what Thanksgiving is all about,appreciating what you have instead of asking for more.

Gratitude also means a thankful appreciation for what you receive, but for me it also means being compassionate and caring towards your family, friends, nature, Earth, and your beliefs. With Gratitude, people acknowledge the good and happiness in their lives. Gratitude is more than just a Word or a Definition. Gratitude is a symbol, it adds a great purpose to our lives. Gratitude is not just a one day event/celebration, it should be a part of your life. Thanksgiving is a great festival to show gratitude. Gratitude can be shown by sending cards to everyone in your family to tell them how thankful you are because of them. A little bit of gratitude, compassion, kindness, and empathy can make make this world a better place for not only you, but for everyone!

For example: You should give respect and be grateful to your friends. When you give the respect, they will give you their friendship in return.  I give my gratitude to my friends, family, food, and everything surrounding me and helps me live.

I made 2 poems and I drew 1 picture.
My Gratitude:
My love goes to my friends and family.
We get a long nice and happily.
Never waste your food, because its absolutley rude.
Kindness, respect,and thankfulness can go a long way.
Just as your relationship with everything around should stay.
So give your gratitude to the things that help you survive.
Because they should matter just as much as your life.

My poem:
Family
Friends forever
Always there for you
Makes you smile when you are down
Impossible to separate
Loves you even when you make a mistake
Yellow like the sunshine in your life.

Gratitude, a little word, holds a great value.
It turns less to enough, and enough to more.
It gives you the wings to soar.
A stranger to a friend at your door.
The things you most regret in life,
into the most beneficial lessons in time.
Gratitude is what or who you appreciate, and are thankful for.
Cherish  those things, people, and more.
The more you care,
the more you  get.
The more you get,
the more you share.
The more you share, 
the more you make a difference in someone else's life.
You give them the greatest gift of all.
Love and happiness.
It always seemed like money and fame were the answer to many people.
But, no matter how rich, or how famous you get, it can never fill your empty heart.
Love and happiness will only cure you whole, not only a part.
Those two things equal a life filled with joy.
Why not donate a toy?

Here's something I drew for Thanksgiving, as it is a holiday that mainly celebrates thanks and gratitude:

Sparkled silver where diamond mines

Snow as white and grass as green,
Roses as red and water so clean,

Gratitude is everything. Gratitude is a small word with a bigger value. I am grateful for a shelter above my head, food and clean water to drink. I am thankful to go to school, and being provided with good education which gives me the great opportunity of learning. I am grateful for great teachers who provide me with abundant knowledge and for all their hard work in this difficult pandemic. And my family who takes care of me by cooking food for me to eat, supporting me and being there for me during hard times. But most of all I am thankful to veterans who strive to protect our great Nation, because of them we can sit at home,  and concentrate at our work without worrying about our safety. I am thankful for doctors and nurses who work day and night to save lives everyday. I am grateful for farmers who grow crops and food, and for store workers who stock food and supplies daily so people like my family can buy them. Gratitude helps me realize the good things I have in life and not to take anything for granted, because we cannot survive on our own and need others, to help us, guide us, and provide for us in our life.

To me, Gratitude means to be thankful and appreciate others. Although gratitude is only ONE word it holds a lot. It teaches us to be thankful/grateful for what we have. Even if we don't have enough. We should still respect those tiny things. For example, I am thankful for everything because it makes me who I am. My education, my family (that supports me), friends(, food, and being able to live in a home. Many people don't have access to this kind of stuff. But I do and it makes me feel grateful.

Below is my picture on what Gratitude means to me! I hope you like it since I worked hard on it.
