A Turkey's Last Plea

Imagine you are a turkey.  You must convince someone not to cook you for Thanksgiving dinner.  What would you say to convince him or her? 

Have a great Thanksgiving!!

Thankful for...

   Even though Thanksgiving is a great time to stuff our faces and relax for a few days, it is necessary to remember the importance of this holiday.  The holiday is called THANKSgiving, so what are we thankful for?  Often we forget to take a step back and realize how lucky we are for many of the things in our lives.  Today in class, we are going to pause for a moment to reflect on our lives and pick out 3 things that we are truly thankful for.  Over this holiday don't forget to help your parents, grandparents, guardians or friends with the mashed potatoes, turkey or help set the table! Appreciate what you have and spend time with your loved ones instead of just plopping down in front of the TV.  I hope everyone has a wonderful break.  Happy Thanksgiving!
