Three ways to use the Thanksgiving holiday as a teachable moment for your students, and two lessons on gratitude:
Gratitude and the Global Supply Chain
Students learn about the science of gratitude - and one person's effort to express gratitude to every person along the supply chain who made their morning cup of coffee possible.
SEL Tip: Practice gratitude as a form of self-care
Gratitude can reduce stress and reshape the brain. Here are two steps for practicing it.
Rethinking Thanksgiving
Students untangle facts and myths about the complex history of Thanksgiving through reading, discussion, and roleplaying.
Thanksgiving: Exploring Perspectives
Students take a critical look at some popular myths and facts about the first interactions between the European pilgrims and Native American peoples, and explore three Native Americans’ views of the holiday.
A Thanksgiving Circle
This circle activity invites students to share their feelings about gratitude and express their appreciation for things large and small.
