Then they color, cut, and glue a latte to display. Made for first through third grade, it works as a whole class lesson, a writing center, or morning work.

  • Students write about the people, places, things, and moments they're thankful for. They practice writing complete sentences, and sentence starters help them give a reason for each answer. The writing options are leveled, so every student can join in.

    They start with a brainstorming page to plan. Then they write on a latte cup craft or a gratitude journal page. When the writing is done, they color, cut, and glue their latte. It makes a sweet Thanksgiving bulletin board, and the cutting and gluing builds fine motor skills too.

    The Gratitude Café Conversation Cards get kids talking before they write. Use them in morning meeting or as a daily writing prompt. They work any time of year, not just in November.
