This morning, instead of our usual paragraph, I had my students write a list of ten things they were thankful for. Here's a partial list of their responses.
Things We Are Thankful For...
* school * family * good food * being free * God * Mrs. Lawson * getting to see my Nana every week * my house * holidays * iPod * High Pointe * Thanksgiving * learning * my dog * paper * food * parents * love * food and water * presents * my Mom * not being a bully * cute clothes * veterans * art, recess, PE, and library * sharing * my mom getting a new job * my aunt's new dog * science experiments *rainy days * not to be dead * for my friends *my bedroom * soldiers in the Army *writing * a roof over my head * brothers and sisters * cousins * aunts and uncles * potato chips * tv & video games * books * hamsters * doctors * animals * sunsets * and best of all, "I am thankful for life."
What are you thankful for today?
The art above is a sign I made for my classroom. It is a Quentin Blake illustration with a Dr. Suess quote.

I am thankful for all your sweet lists.
How sweet and precious........
Love and hugs and always thankful for you
Most days I begin a prayer of thanks for being alive. Health troubles still persist, which is why I'm not around blogland as much these days, though I try to post at my own place when I can. It's good to see you here. :o) Wishing you & yours a Blessed Thanksgiving next week and Joy in the holidays ahead. ((HUGS))
I'm thankful for my husband and daughter, they give meaning to my life.
Reconnecting with you, Wonderful Teacher.
This is so cute! Love it Relyn!
Always love your students lists. Oh yes, Mrs. Lawson is a good thing to be thankful for.
Someone told me recently that there is a study that says if you think of 3 things you are grateful for everyday for 21 days, the brain actually shifts to begin seeing the positive more than the negative! I like it!
