Focus on the Positive-Thing 7a

As I was browsing through my reader, I found an interesting blog that suggests having students write about and share 2 positive events each week might have an effect on students lives. The author, Larry Ferlazzo, says studies have been done on couples who share positive events in their day, but he was unable to find any studies on how this positive sharing would effect students. Considering all of the negative events in our students lives, I think this is a fabulous thing to try. I am always looking for ways to create a climate of "family" in my classroom--happy family, not crazy, disfunctional family ;-) . I wonder if any of you have tried this and would want to share your results.
