What does Thanksgiving mean to you?

We brainstormed a list of things to explain what Thanksgiving means to us.  We had a great conversation about taking time to be thankful for something in our life.  From this conversation, we began our Thankful project.  This project will be completed at school next week and sent home to be shared on Thanksgiving.  Each student is creating a Thankful Turkey centerpiece for Thanksgiving dinner and they are writing a paragraph about the things they are thankful for.  I am asking all of my students to share their writing and thankful turkey next week.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
