Imagine walking into a classroom where students greet each other with smiles, celebrate one another's efforts, and notice the small things that make each day special. That's the power of gratitude - it transforms the classroom atmosphere from ordinary to uplifting. In today's episode, I'm sharing seven fresh, practical, and engaging ways to weave gratitude into your classroom, and why it matters so much for your students.
