Gratitude: The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation; being aware of good things.
In an effective coding classroom, working together as a team is common. In order to build community and show respect for peers, children learn to exercise gratitude for one another. Giving thanks can occur for small things, like helping clean up KIBO blocks at the end of the day, or big things, like working on a final multiple-tablet ScratchJr project together. The act of being grateful encourages children to engage in a community-oriented mindset.
