What's inside

Middle schoolers can spot a cheesy "list what you're thankful for" worksheet from across the room. The Thankful Brain takes a different angle. Students read about the SCIENCE of gratitude (negativity bias, neuroplasticity and real research studies), test it with their own 7-day experiment, and practice gratitude in specific, meaningful ways. It's perfect for November advisory, SEL blocks, ELA nonfiction, or health class. WHAT'S INCLUDED (20 pages)
