I Am Thankful For……
The students in Mrs. Young’s class talked about the people and the things that we loved and are happy to have in our lives. The people and the things that we love were then related to the things that we are thankful for. We discussed how families get together and eat turkey and a lot of other foods on a special day called Thanksgiving to celebrate the things that they are thankful for. The students were given thankful coloring pages and crayons to color however they would like to. Once they were done coloring, they had to tell the teachers what they were thankful for. The teachers wrote the students’ responses at the bottom of the page. The pages were laminated and turned into placemats to use during Thanksgiving dinner or any meal time.
As a reminder, all schools and offices will be closed on Wednesday, November 27, 2024 through Friday, November 29, 2024 for the Thanksgiving holiday.
We hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
