GNH and the Balloons of Bhutan

We talked about happiness by listening to the song "Happiness" from the musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The lyrics list several things that Charlie Brown and his friends think are happiness.

Then we learned about GNH (Gross National Happiness) and watched this video:

Students rated Korea's GNH on a scale of 1-10 and then learned about about the GNH in Bhutan with the Balloons of Bhutan Project. You can also explore the statistics for lots more about the project. (My favorite section is the one about wishes). ^^ We listened to Jonathan Harris explain the project.

We looked at some of the pictures, listened to some of the stories (Chimi Dema  & Tandin Gyeltshen).

Finally, we made Wordles of what made each class happy. :)
