People with a positive attitude believe in themselves, tend to be healthier, and are more successful. Having a positive attitude is a choice. Using a glass of water, positive thinking will be defined, demonstrated, and discussed with learners. With guidance, students will brainstorm and discuss ways to think positively about the following situations: • It is a rainy and gloomy day, but you were looking forward to being outside. • You went to the zoo but did not get to see your favorite animal. • All of your friends are out of town, and you have no one to play with. • You broke your leg and have to wear a cast for six weeks. • Your team lost the tournament game. Finally, students will create a gratitude journal, listing their favorite things in life. Reflecting on their gratitude journals will help learners focus on what they are thankful for when they find it hard to see the good in a bad situation.
Learning Goals
• Students will understand that an attitude is how someone feels about things.
• Students will understand that attitudes can be positive or negative, and having a
positive attitude is a matter of choice.
• Students will understand that having a positive attitude is easier when we show gratitude.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello families! My name is Kiara Banks, but please call me Ms. Kay! I teach life skills courses to young learners, helping them communicate, set goals and make good decisions. As the teacher, I present scenarios that assist children in making good choices. Art activities incorporated with open dialogue make for stimulating class involvement. I believe that it is vitally important to develop positive socio-emotional skills to experience real success in life. Additionally, I wish to support families experiencing learning loss by offering reasonably priced private tutoring sessions.
I have over 20 years of experience as a volunteer teacher at a local community center, instructing students as young as 4-years-old. I also teach English language learners online, utilizing my TESOL certification. I have a certificate in Early Childhood Care and Education, as well as a Professional Tutor Certification. Most importantly, I am a homeschool teacher to my 4th-grade son. I love to learn and am constantly working to improve my skills as a teacher!
I enjoy many types of arts and crafts activities. As a fun fact, my favorite dessert is cake! I taught cake decorating lessons at a local craft store and sold decorated cakes for several years. Some of my wedding cakes even won awards!Reviews
