Character Strengths Weeks There are eight strengths weeks throughout the year. You and your class can draw, describe or role play how you could use one of the strengths to build your wellbeing, healthy and respectful friendships. The order of these weeks are: Gratitude, Curiosity, Teamwork, Love of Learning, Kindness, Perseverance, Leadership and Zest.
GRATITUDE WEEK Think about the little things you already have in your life that you are grateful for, not the things you want; what would happen if they weren’t there? And think about the many kind acts others do for you, without you asking; do you say thank you? Choosing to show gratitude builds everyone’s wellbeing. This week make Gratitude Walls both in your classroom and at home for your class and your family to write down or draw things they are grateful for and what they said to say thank you. This Week’s Gratitudes: This week write down or draw little things that you are grateful for and kind things that you are grateful for and then say others did for you thank you to them. Also, who was grateful for your efforts this week?
