Every day of this week, my students have to choose and write who or what they are thankful for since we are getting ready for Thanksgiving. One of my students said she was thankful for me and then says, “Well you are my family, ya know” It was followed with a big hug! You should also know that I work with children who come from troubled families and don’t really get the chance to experience what a Thanksgiving dinner is with all of their family under the same roof. Next week, we will all be gathering up in the gym to have a huge Thanksgiving dinner and it is the one time throughout the whole entire school year where the entire school (students and staff) are all together. It’s a big deal to the kids and to the staff because we show the kids how important they are and we get to share this same experience like a huge family. I am so excited for next week’s festivities at work! These children have opened my eyes to so much more in life and how important it is to cherish and value our loved ones.
I am sincerely thankful for them in every way possible.
keep up with dee
