Expressing gratitude is a practice that I try to implement daily. I know that feel happier since I've started doing this, and I would love to promote it more with my students this school year. When I found this pin from Teach Beside Me I became inspired and put my own twist on this activity.
Next year, I plan on using a similar activity at the beginning of the school year to help me get to know the kids as well as getting them in the habit of practicing gratitude.
I'm going to to start with these fun erasers from Amazon.
Students will pick an eraser at random and respond to one of these questions that will be posted on the SMART Board.
This activity will double in a practical sense because students are constantly wearing down their erasers. Now, they will have a backup eraser right from the start!

How do you have students practice gratitude?
Thank you!
