Weekend Update November 13th

Gratitude really CAN change everything.  As we look to celebrate GRATITUDE as our character trait for the Positivity Project next week, it is important to think of all those things we are grateful for.  I am incredibly grateful for the support the community has shown as we've worked through this unreal pandemic.  I am incredibly grateful for the children who come every do and do their best to learn and follow safety. I am grateful for those families who are making it work remotely. And, I am certainly grateful to the teachers who are working so hard to keep the school running smooth. I must admit this past week I've been especially grateful for the gorgeous weather we've had. What are you grateful for? Do check in with our children and ask what they are grateful for!

Positivity Project: Gratitude 

Gratitude means that you are aware of and thankful for good things that happen. Gratitude is the quality of feeling and expressing thankfulness and appreciation. It is an affirmation that there is goodness in other people and the world, and that we have received that goodness. People with the strength of gratitude have a readiness to show appreciation for kindness and also to return kindness. A leading expert, Robert Emmons, calls gratitude a “relationship-strengthening emotion because it requires us to see how we’ve been supported and affirmed by other people.”
