We Are So Thankful!

It has been a difficult year for many people all around the world but I am thankful every day that I have been given the gift of time with your child!  This time of year is magical in the eyes of a first grader!  They are thankful for SO much!  When asked, here are some of the things this year’s firsties are thankful for:

Ashlyn B. – family & friends

Ashlyn V. – my mom & dad

Trystan B. – people being nice to me

Laken – my brother & sister

Caedan – food

Katelyn – family

Anthony – food

Jackson – food

Tristian H. – all the food they (the cooks at school) give us every day

Jeremiah – food & having friends

Elizabeth – family

Airam – pets

Joseph – food they (the cooks at school) give us

Arlan – my stuff

Caleb – everything

Every year, it is tradition in my room that we eat our thanksgiving dinner in our classroom.  You would think that I hung the moon, the first graders get So excited at the prospect!  It’s so fun to see and a great opportunity for us to practice proper manners and just sit and chat – something we don’t often get time to do!
