Lesson Plan

Gratitude Lesson Plan: Littles Edition

Notice good things, say real thank-yous, and make a jar to keep them in.

This is the Littles Edition of Gratitude: one ready-to-teach week written just for grades K-3. Every day follows the same rhythm: Reading on Monday, Writing and Words on Tuesday, Science and Math on Wednesday, a Hands-on Project on Thursday, and Show and Tell on Friday.

The big question: What good things happened today, and who helped make them happen?

The Week

• Mon: Omu's Pot of Thanks (Reading) • Tue: Add a Because (Writing & Words) • Wed: The Thank-You Tally (Science & Math) • Thu: Make a Gratitude Jar (Hands-on Project) • Fri: Deliver a Thank-You (Show & Tell)

Teaching more than one level? The all-levels edition of Gratitude has Littles (K-3), Middles (4-6) and Bigs (7-8) in one file, so siblings or a mixed classroom can study the same topic together.

Perfect for homeschool families, grade K-3 classrooms, co-ops and substitute plans.
