What do You Like About Your Life? Part 1

Have you ever watched the Youtube video called, "Jessica's Affirmation?" My students watched it today and then made their lists of everything they like. What a powerful experience. Some of the students even shared their list with their classmates. I was given permission to share the following 6th graders' lists with you. I think you can easily understand why I love to get up every morning and teach these beautiful children of God!

Excellent lists. I will have to check out this video for my 6th grade religion class. I have just started keeping a gratitude journal, trying to "accentuate the positive". My list would include husband, kids, grandaughters, fresh water to drink, food in the refrigerator every day, freedom of religion and citizenship in the USA.
