Take a gratitude walk
End-of-the-year activities make November feel busy, sometimes even overwhelming. A gratitude walk can help you and your students refuel and reduce stress.
We also celebrate Native American Heritage Month in November, and a gratitude walk offers a meaningful way to reflect on the Indigenous perspective that all living things are interconnected relatives, encouraging a deeper appreciation and gratitude for the natural world.
