Poems of Thanks

                                        It Is Not As It Seems

          The students worked very hard on their "I Am Thankful" poems. We read aloud the poem "I am Thankful" by an anonymous author who showed us there is good in all things. After our read aloud the students were asked to write a list of things they did not like. Then they were challenged to find the positive in the person or task they had listed. We saw many chores in a new light . . . homework, making our bed, doing the dishes, cleaning, setting the table all were found to have some redeeming purpose. Be sure to read the poem with your child. Perhaps they could share it at Thanksgiving or your next gathering of family and friends.
