We are thankful!

We have a lot of gratitude. We have written five things we are thankful for.  The Pilgrims had a tradition of putting five kernels of corn next to their plate on Thanksgiving to represent a blessing: autumn beauty, love for each other, God's love, friendship, and freedom. The first winter the Pilgrims sometimes only had 5 kernels of corn to eat a day. They found the corn buried in a basket in the sand that the Native Americans had left stored there. The corn helped them to survive that first long cold winter.

We have a very kind class this year. I am very grateful for how well they work together and support each other. They are really "filling each others buckets". Ask you child how they fill each others buckets!!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy working on those book report cubes.
