Social and emotional learning helps students feel calm, focused, and engaged. Your student may feel improvements in mood and attention during tutoring sessions and school, and with family and friends. Happily, there is always time for social and emotional learning during your tutoring sessions!
Welcome to the Gratitude Activity Series! Feeling gratitude helps boost positive emotions and provides tools we need to face adversity. It also improves physical health and personal relationships.

Feeling gratitude can help us in many ways: to feel happy and healthy, to face challenges, and to get along better with family and friends. However, gratitude doesn’t just mean saying thank you. For your next three tutoring sessions, take a few minutes to explore:
- Gratitude for something you see or do every day.
- Gratitude for someone who YOU think has made the world a better place.
- Gratitude for yourself.
