Thanksgiving is a time to look back on all our blessings and to spend some time reflecting on the positive relationships, kind actions, blessings and the good in our lives.  I hope that you get a chance to do this with your family and friends this weekend and even if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, it’s a good time to be grateful for all the positive in our lives.  For your blog post this week, I’d like you to write a paragraph that explains WHAT you’re thankful for and WHY.  It should be specific and written as a paragraph, with a topic sentence, body sentences, and a conclusion.  Here’s mine:
    With the smell of hot food cooking, vegetables being roasted, and a fire in the fireplace, I feel thankful.  This has been another busy, crazy year but one in which I feel so lucky to have a new school, a new grade, and some great new challenges.  I feel very thankful this year for my family, for Jacey, Vera, and Stella and for the ways in which they all contribute to make my life feel full, meaningful, crazy, and complete.  It’s such a joy to come home to my family and having them supporting me makes me feel truly blessed.  That’s why I’m thankful this holiday.

Roar! We were watching a tiger at the zoo. It was amazing. I got a lot of things from the gift shop. I had loads of fun at the zoo that day and I was thankful for that. I was thankful for all the things I could do because some people couldn't do those things, and I could. I was thankful also because I had been to the zoo before and I was really lucky. We could buy things, not be in a hurry, or be stressed about anything, and we would all go as a family. That is one lucky tiger too, it gets to see me a lot.

I know this sounds kinda mean to the rest of my family but thing I am most thankful for is my dog. This isn't because I like dogs but because Ginger ties the whole family together. Without her, me and my brother would never play together, because we were playing with her too. My brother would never do his homework if my mom couldn't say" If you don't do your home work, I'tll only be a second to sell her on KiGiiIGii" That is why I am thankful for my dog Ginger>.

Why say "thank you" on Thanksgiving if you can say thank you everyday? Woof! Sorry about that, thats Lola my dog and I wouldn't ever had her if it wasn't for my family. My family and I had gone on trips and adventures and the best part of the journey is that we are together. Even though we sometimes fight and feud we still know we love each other. I am so thankful that we can have food on the table every night and we have a lot of things that sadly other people can't have. I love my family no matter where we are or what is happening.

I am thankful for everything I have because some kids live on the street with almost well...nothing. One of the things I am most thankful for is my kitten. I am thankful for him because if we hadn't adopted him he would have been put down, because of his heart murmer. I am really thankful for everything.

Thankful


Chirp!, Chirp!, Woof!, Woof! The sound of my new bird and my dog fills my ears with joy, I am thankful. I am thankful for the food that’s put on my plate every morning and night. I am thankful for all my friends at school and at home that have played with me. I am thankful that I got to grow up with my Polish background that allows me to experience so many things that other kids don't. I am proud to live in a free country. I am also thankful for my family, Peter, Anna, and Claudia wich they have helped me grow successfully throughout my school years.
I am very thankful for everything!

I am thankful for a lot of things like having a lot of kids on my street to play. we like playing baseball, football and this cars game. I am thankful for my parents and grandma and grandpa for getting me to all my sports and taking care of me! I'm thankful for having a dog because I can play with him when I'm bored. I'm thankful for having a cat because he always fallows me so I can pat him and I don't have to go and find him. I'm thankful for my sister because she comes to my baseball and hockey games! I'm thankful for everything!

I am thankful for having a family because if I didn't, then I basically wouldn't be alive! If I didn't have a family I wouldn't have any clothes, or food, or anything. I would still be dead. But still happy!

What I love about Thanksgiving is that we get to share what we need and love like having amazing meals every day, playing with kids on our street and learning new things each day with Mr. Steltman. Best of all I am most grateful and thankful for is my family because if I didn't have a family, I wouldn't even be alive.That is what I am grateful and thankful for on Thanksgiving.

Thanks Giving ( the time when I get STUFFED) is a great holiday when you give all your thanks and eat lots of food. (Yummy food) This year I am thankful for my family. My family is loving, caring, thoughtful, supportive and everything more. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for my family. They provide me with food, shelter, clothes, toys and more things that I wouldn't even need but they still provide it to me because they care for me. They bring joy to my life and they fill my heart everyday and I love then so much. I love thanksgiving and I am very thankful for my family!!

I am thankful for a lot of things but I'm really thankful for my dog Tiger. I'm thankful that we got to adopt him and make him part of our family before he was put to sleep in a shelter. He is a fun dog, sometimes he does bad things like sitting on the couch when he knows he's not allowed but he loves us a lot and I know he appreciates all the love and food and toys we give him. My family wouldn't be the same without him so I am very thankful to have him live with us.

Hey there my name is I love, love hockey, also known as Claire.

Thanksgiving is here, my favorite time of year. I love the juicy pumpkin pie with the best whipped cream there is on the shelves.The cooked yummy turkey with the thick heavy gravy.

This thanksgiving I'm thankful for how my family came to Canada instead of living in China to have a better life. In Canada I have a better life because there is more freedom and better healthcare. You also get more time to have fun and there is less pollution. It's also less crowded and there isn't a lot of people. There's also not as much traffic in Canada.

I am thankful to be sheltered, be fed and to have fresh water. I am very happy to live in a free country and to live in an amazing place like Burlington. I am very grateful for my family because they always help me and are there for me. My family shows me lots of love and I love them too!

On Thanksgiving I went to the Dominican Republic. Thanksgiving is when you eat turkey and say what you're thankful for. I am thankful for the food that I get because I want to live. I am thankful for that Canada is a free country and has free healthcare. I am thankful for my family who takes care of me and provides me with food, shelter, buys me stuff that I want, and makes me cheerful. I am thankful for the trips that I go on with my family. That's what i'm thankful for and why.
