Savoring Happy Memories

 

My dad took me to the Farmer's Market and I got to pet a lot of bunnies. 

Classroom Activity: We can help teach our students to savor happy memories by turning a hallway into our "Happy Photo Gallery." Ask students to bring a photo from home of a happy moment in their lives. Have the children write a caption about what is happening in the photo. You can also have the students draw. Hang the pictures for parents and children to see and explain the exhibit with a nicely matted printout like this:

I Remember...

Savoring happy memories is a scientifically proven skill that helps people lead happier more satisfying lives. We are committed to helping our families raise happy healthy children. That means teaching our students important Social and Emotional Skills. Every one experiences uncomfortable feelings, and we don't ever deny that. But we love to celebrate the happy moments of life and this photo exhibit is all about savoring our happy memories. Please join us by using the car ride to school or the dinner table conversation to practice reminiscing about happy memories with your child.  Enjoy!
