My Project

Science has shown that gratitude increases well being and openness to learning. Giving students the opportunity to show gratitude toward those around them that support them every day will improve their mood, mentality and uplift those who receive the gift. Aiding students in learning how to show their appreciation through a small gesture, like painting a rock, increases brain power and heart power as well. The act of giving can increase the teachers, families and friends willingness to continue with the positive attitude and support for the student, as well as maybe passing that gratitude on to someone else!
