Being Thankful
Today, our Principal charged us with seizing the opportunity to be thankful at least 20 times today. So, we found the moment to do just that!
A lovely and thoughtful paraprofessional at our school made a Henkes Mouse Finger for each student in our class. We love it! After using them for the very first time today, we each wrote a personal thank you note to her and then presented our thankful hearts to her while she was on lunch duty in the dining room.
What are you thankful for today? Did you take the time to tell someone thank you?
