Gratitude

On Thursday, November 15 we will:

  • Read All of Me! A Book of Thanks by Molly Bang and Giving Thanks by Jonathan London.
  • Play Gratitude Grab Bag
    • Make up cards, some that say "THANKSGIVING" and others that have a picture on them (no words) of things children may be thankful for. Each child takes a turn reaching into the bag and pulling out a card. If the card says "THANKSGIVING" the child should express something or someone they are thankful for (parents, teachers, pet, favorite food, etc.) If they pull out a picture they show it to all and then express why we should be thankful for that item (food, clothes, trees, grass, stores, cars, etc.). This game is especially fun for preschoolers and their expressions of gratitude are priceless. Jot them down and give a list to the parents or post for all to read.  From Kaboose
  • Make Thank you cards.

The world is so full of a number of things,
I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
