We spent a lot of our day today talking about what we are Thankful for. We read some books. Thank You World by Alice B. McGinty and The Thank You Book by Todd Parr. We thought and thought about all of the many things in our lives that we have to be Thankful for. Here is a small snapshot:

Not just at this time of year, but all year long, we like to think about what we are thankful for. It is a difficult concept for 6 and 7 year olds to understand fully. It is at times, difficult for adults to understand or communicate. It can be simple or it can be more complex.
What are we thankful for?

Sometimes we get caught up and we forget to be thankful for even the simple day to day things in our lives that many in the world do not have. I love all your answers as they remind us to be thankful for those “simple” things and not take them for granted. Happy Thanksgiving Rm 129!
I absolutely love this!
I am thankful to still have my dad with us after a long battle.
