In Everything Give Thanks

This month in Preschool, we are focusing on the theme of Thankfulness! As 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 reminds us, “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Throughout the month, we will read books, sing songs, and reflect on the things we are grateful for during circle time. Here are some of the books we are enjoying:

Thanksgiving is for Giving Thanks

If You’re Thankful & You Know It
by Chrissy Bozik
Grateful: A Song of Giving Thanks
by John Bucchino

Our class created Thankful Turkeys! Each student used their fine motor skills to paint paper plates and cardboard tubes, which we let dry overnight. The next day, the teacher wrote down each child’s thankful thoughts on feather cutouts. Students then added feathers, a beak, a waddle, and sticker eyes to complete their turkey crafts. We invite you to stop by our classroom bulletin board to see what our class is thankful for. Here are a few pictures of our students working on their Thankful Turkeys!
