With the year we have been having, I decided to put up a Thankful Tree in my classroom. Each of my students had the opportunity to write down what they were Thankful for and put it on the tree as the ornaments. I believe that even with all the ups and downs this year has brought, we need to be Thankful for everything we have now. A couple of the messages are “I am thankful for the fact that teachers are still trying to make school fun.” “I am thankful for the life I get to live, and all the great people in it.” “I am thankful for the veterans and the people currently serving in the military.” Don’t forget to be Thankful this holiday season!
