This Classroom Gratitude Jar Activity will give your students a chance to reflect on the people, activities, etc. at school that they are grateful for.

To create, print the “gratitude” strips or circles (depending on what works best for your classroom) onto either colored paper or construction paper. Print the jar label onto cardstock for durability.

Leave the Gratitude Jar along with strips or circles in a basket somewhere in your classroom. Encourage your students to visit the spot as they wish to write something they are grateful for.

Additionally, you can send the supplies home with your students for families to create their own Gratitude Jars.

Why a Gratitude Activity?

Last year, I started a classroom gratitude jar for our classroom and it was the highlight of our month! We have so many discussions around what we’re thankful for – from our friends to the food we have to the pencils we write with.

Having the jar sit at the front of our classroom was a great reminder. As students thought of an idea, they wrote on the slip of paper and dropped into the jar. At the end of each day, we read our new additions.

After a few days of doing this activity as a class, we gather the materials for the students to create a “Family Gratitude Jar” at home. It was a hit with families, too!

Thermal printers allow you to print one or hundreds or labels in seconds! Thermal labels are much less expensive than standard sheet labels.

IMPORTANT: In order to use these labels, you must own your own thermal printer! Thermal printers don’t require ink, toner, or ribbons. This means that once you purchase the printer…you never need to purchase ink!  This is my recommendation for an inexpensive thermal printer and these are the colorful labels you’ll want to print on. {affiliate link}.

Read more over on the blog to see just how easy these labels are to use!
