In this episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow educator, Mikey Sivert, a passionate fifth-grade teacher and expert in Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). With November here, we’re chatting all about the theme of gratitude and exploring how to make it a genuine and lasting part of our classrooms.

Mikey shares practical ways to introduce gratitude to students, build buy-in, and keep the practice alive beyond just the holiday season. From creative activities like gratitude circles to tying gratitude into other subjects, Mikey’s insights are both easy to implement and deeply impactful.

Plus, he’s offering a special set of resources to help you bring these ideas into your own classroom. Join us for a conversation filled with inspiration, laughter, and actionable ideas to create a more thankful classroom all year long.
