January & Gratitude

πŸ’› January & Gratitude πŸ’›

Small words. Big feelings. Grateful hearts.

January is the perfect time to slow down, reflect and focus on what truly matters. This month, our classroom turned into a space of gratitude, reflection and positive thinking.

Through creative activities, students practised English while expressing thankfulness for the people, moments and little things that make their lives brighter.

🌿 Gratitude Branch 🌿

Our classroom grew a very special branch — a Gratitude Branch. Students wrote messages of gratitude in English on colourful circular notes and carefully hung them on a real branch placed in our classroom.

Each note represented something they were thankful for: family, friends, health, school moments or simple everyday joys. Little by little, the branch filled with kind words and positive feelings.

πŸ’– Gratitude Jar πŸ’–

Our gratitude journey continued with the creation of a personal Gratitude Jar. First, students decorated their jars using colours, patterns and cheerful designs.

Then, they wrote gratitude messages on small heart-shaped notes and placed them inside. The jars will travel home, inviting families to join the activity and add their own notes of gratitude. A simple way to strengthen bonds and spread positivity beyond the classroom.

  The Lithuanian team joyfully took part in the celebration of International Dot Day. To begin, the students watched the inspiring short film “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds, which encouraged them to believe in their creativity and to express themselves without fear. After the video, they shared their thoughts and impressions about the message of the story and discussed why this day is celebrated around the world. To mark the occasion, the students created their own colorful dots and brought them to life using the augmented reality app Quiver. The moment when the drawings transformed into 3D animated creations was truly exciting and filled the classroom with surprise and joy. It was a wonderful experience that combined creativity, art, and modern technology, leaving students inspired to keep exploring their talents.

πŸ’—πŸ’žπŸ’– Logo Contest • Heartbeats at School • European Code Week 🎨 Logo Contest At first, the students recorded their ideas on Mentimeter so that everyone in the class could share and get inspired by each other’s thoughts. This process encouraged active participation and gave every student a voice, making the activity truly democratic. Then, they began working on their logo designs . Some worked individually, others collaborated in pairs or small groups, while a few preferred to work digitally. Throughout this stage, the students showed great enthusiasm and creativity, enjoying the opportunity to express their ideas. Our proposal Once all the designs were completed, we held a class vote to select the logo that would represent our proposal. This final step reinforced the democratic process and allowed the children to feel proud and involved in the decision-making. Mentimeter πŸ’ž Heartbeats at Scho...
