We want our kids to have an attitude of gratitude … and we want to be grateful, too. But it isn’t always easy. I’m a real fan of music to help with many skills as well as character education. What fun to have a house or classroom filled with songs of gratitude (not the worst things to be running through your head, either!).
Free Thank You Songs and Rhymes for Home or Classroom
I already have a post with free thank-you songs and rhymes for home or school. Those songs are about thanking people … something that’s always important.
