I’m grateful for my beautiful life…

This week we read a beautiful poem called prayer by Jorge Argueta, where he expressed gratitude for may simple things we take for granted on a daily basis. Students worked on a brainstorm exercise where they thought of things they were grateful for in different categories. Family and friends, basic necessities, nature, and memories were a few. Students then spent time creating their own gratitude poems. There were some really beautiful poems this week. Here are a few of them. I hope you enjoy!
