Students learning from home are also able to participate.
WHY THE EVENT?
Gratitude is one of the most important skills a person can learn and given the recent COVID-19 pandemic, global natural disasters and other current events, there is no better time to come together as humans and reflect on what we do have to be GRATEFUL FOR.
The great news?
It doesn't matter if you are a 4 year old or a 104 year old GRATITUDE can be practised.
And what an experience for your students. Being part of a classroom with thousands of other students from different parts of the world, all practising gratitude together.
