Welcome to our last week before March break, our first week since reports came out, the weather is changing, seasons and terms are switching over and we’re kicking into the final phase of grade six! Before we start, I want to thank you for such an incredible year so far and I’m so excited to see what amazing things we can do with the rest of this year. As we think about this second term and how we’re going to get better, be better, and create better, I think happiness is one of the keys to our success.
Watch the above video, presented at a TED talk on happiness. When you’ve finished watching, your job is to create your very own HAPPINESS /Gratitude JOURNAL. There has been tons of research lately that explains how if we take the time to write down what we appreciate and the good things that happen in a day, our mental state becomes happier and more positive. This week for your blog, I’d like you to start a Google Doc called “Name Gratitude Journal” and write down 3 NEW THINGS that you were glad happened, positive events and/or things you’re thankful for. Post the link to your doc in the comments and we’ll share a few on Friday.
