Giving Thanks

Some of our turkeys that we made on Tuesday!

We have talked a lot about our families and things we do together, and it is something we will continue to focus on throughout the holiday season.  Today after our morning message we talked about Thanksgiving and how it is a holiday where we remember all of the people and things we are thankful for.  Below I have written what your child said he or she was thankful for (keep in mind there was no prep time, so it is off the tops of their heads!)  Rest assured, they all have expressed how grateful they are for their families MANY times before today.  Some are sweet, some are funny, and they all made us smile!

I'm thankful for...

My mother because she cooks for me. -KW
My mommy, daddy, Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Karen. -MS
The soliders who fight for our country. -ED and MF
Mrs. Fournier's hugs when I'm feeling sad. -GC
School. -JW
My house. -EL
Food and animals. -SG
Mrs. Fournier and the class. -EY
My birthday. -LM
Elle. -NR
Hannah. -SL
Turkeys. -LS
My Nana and Papa. -HP


One of the coolest things about this was when one of the students raised her hand and reminded us that we can be thankful for things all year long, not just at Thanksgiving!  I was so excited to hear that, and we decided as a class that we should share things we are all thankful for every now and then throughout the year.  How sweet are your children?!
