Season of Thanks: Printable Curriculum
Empower your learner (Ages 5–15) to explore gratitude, global herbal traditions, and sensory-based science with the Season of Thanks Unit Study.
This complete, multi-age curriculum blends neuroscience, aromatic plant chemistry, and cultural history, helping students understand how gratitude, scent, and emotion work together in the brain.
This isn’t another stack of worksheets. Your student will use real herbs and spices to explore how scent travels to the brain, how color and heat affect plant compounds, and how cultures around the world express thankfulness.
Zero Prep, Deep Learning
This digital download gives you immediate access to 30+ pages of differentiated curriculum (saving you 10+ hours of prep).
Activities are designed so multiple ages can engage with the same topics at their own level.
Your Student Will Learn:
Aromatic Chemistry
How volatile oils from herbs like lemon balm, chamomile, or spices activate the limbic system - the part of the brain that handles emotion and memory.
Neuroscience of Gratitude
How practicing gratitude shifts the brain into a calmer state, supports emotional balance, and strengthens memory pathways.
Global Traditions
How different cultures use herbs, scent, color, and ritual to express thanks across generations.
Sensory Science
How to use sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound to observe and record plant properties in a way that builds scientific skills.
Creative Expression
Students create their own Mini Herbal Gratitude Booklet, combining art, writing, and scent to deepen learning.
Differentiated Learning
• Younger learners (Ages 5–9): drawing prompts, sensory observations, simple reflections
• Older learners (Ages 10–15): neuroscience extensions, cultural research, structured journaling
