Gratitude from Students!

Not gonna lie, this is the first post I've been excited to write here!
My idea was to ask students what they're thankful for from their past weekend instead of doing highs and lows. BOY did they deliver! It was as simple as "my bed" to "my teammates" to "my sister returning safely from college". It was so lovely! I really appreciate them taking the time to think of something small.
In addition to that, I found a card on my laptop at the end of class. A super "bro"-y, macho jock type student wrote me an extremely detailed and heartfelt note (below) with a coffee gift card inside. Totally unprompted! This absolutely made my day, and also kept me grateful for my awesome kiddos.
