A4: forgetting to do it in more than ways that yourself would appreciate #MTedchat

youtheduteach Nov 15 @ 10:38 PM EST

A4: Getting Ss to think beyond materialistic items. Ideas: reading books, personal sharing, and open discussions #MTedchat

A4) Challenge is Ss may not have ever felt empathy. I think u need 2 feel before you can give. #mtedchat

PrincipalNyberg Nov 15 @ 10:38 PM EST

A2: Too many places to mention. For me I fall short in the expression department, for sure. #MTedchat

ShaundelK Nov 15 @ 10:38 PM EST

A4: I think there's a lot more expectation that things should be/will happen & less hoping they will be or working for them... #MTedchat

ChouinardJahant Nov 15 @ 10:38 PM EST

#MTedchat A4 An idea to overcome a challenge of teaching about gratitude, Service Day so Ss see the importance of giving back.

A4 I think ppl show gratitude the way they want to receive it. Maybe if we watch for those cues in Ss we can help them see it too #MTedchat

NiemeyerMr Nov 15 @ 10:39 PM EST

A4) we took Veterans Day cards to famous Dave's providing free lunch to those who have served. Shook hands & provided cards #MTedchat

cbartow Nov 15 @ 10:39 PM EST

Yes! Transcending loss gets at gratitude, need to support those in trauma or grief to get there #mtedchat

Watching for Ss "love languages" #MTedchat

TraciPiltz Nov 15 @ 10:40 PM EST

Love this! Part of teaching them to be grateful is teaching them how to pay it forward. #MTedchat

NiemeyerMr Nov 15 @ 10:37 PM EST

Some of our most needy Ss are accustomed to taking… Must find easy, cheap/free ways to give back to others and the community #MTedchat

I think this should be A4 😂 #MTedchat

Yes! Entitlement! Not all Ss feel it, it very challenging to overcome!!! #MTedchat

cbartow Nov 15 @ 10:37 PM EST

A4 difficult to overcome a sense of entitlement or lack of responsibility when others constantly model it, U keep steady n visible #mtedchat

ChouinardJahant Nov 15 @ 10:41 PM EST

A4 #MTedchat I have students write letters to their parents-gratitude- not for basic needs but for deeper reasons-get them to reflect.

youtheduteach Nov 15 @ 10:41 PM EST

It's so important to ask Ss to think beyond themselves and our classroom or school. #MTedchat

In reply to @NiemeyerMr

TraciPiltz Nov 15 @ 10:41 PM EST

SteveWyborney Nov 15 @ 10:43 PM EST

A4 We could practice gratitude by making "gratitude lists" i.e Write down several things you are grateful for. #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Nov 15 @ 10:43 PM EST

We do something similar in our daily morning meeting. We share things we are grateful for. I like the list idea too #MTedchat

ShaundelK Nov 15 @ 10:44 PM EST

from which little is learned except expectation! We should do a BPS student challenge!!! #MTedchat

In reply to @TraciPiltz

MrHagemeister Nov 15 @ 10:44 PM EST

A4 when students aren't aware of the struggles many people have in a day it can be hard to make such struggles relevant. #MTedchat

Do Ts ever ask Ss to write letters of gratitude to themselves? Like, as a segue? #mtedchat

AmandaRapstad Nov 15 @ 10:44 PM EST

A4 I think it's challenging when students don't see parents express gratitude. I think it takes a lot of modeling to overcome. #MTedchat

NiemeyerMr Nov 15 @ 10:44 PM EST

A4) rather than a half-day ISS, give Ss meaningful contributions to bring up others, their school & community... starts to build #MTedchat
