THANKFUL WRITING

Oops!  Something came up for tomorrow afternoon
so I'll have to do FB at One!  You can still watch it at five if you check in then.
I promise you won't be disappointed with the big surprise!

DRUM ROLL.....

 I'VE GOT A BIG SURPRISE FOR YOU TOMORROW NIGHT ON FB LIVE AT FIVE!

HAVE A SUPER SUNDAY AND I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW AFTERNOON!

Here are a few more ideas you can use this coming week.  These books are a "timely" way to nurture nonfiction writing and gratitude!

Thankful Books
Make special books using napkins, paper plates, or a fork as shown.







Thankful for Friends
Jane Lake shared this idea with me several years ago.  Fold 3 sheets of paper in half and staple.  Children use one of the prompts below on each page of their book.

     1. A good friend is…
     2. I’m a good friend when…
     3. What friends like to do together…
     4. Symbols of friendship…
     5. Names of my friends… 

                                                        


Thankful Song 

(Tune: “Are You Sleeping?”  Children repeat each line.)
I am thankful.
I am thankful. 
Every day.
Every day.
For my friends and family.
For my friends and family.
Thanks I say!
Thanks I say!


P.S.  Here's a link to a video I did for PETA about fruits and vegetables.
