First and fourth graders share their advice on gratefulness
You are so excited about every little thing, whether that’s your mom being a class chaperone for the approaching Thanksgiving party or the ladybug that crawled onto your finger while you were drawing a hand turkey.
However, on the Upper School side of the street, it is easy to forget the little things for which we have to be thankful. On their own, stress and homework tend to overflow our plentiful cornucopia of work. So, just in case you needed a refresher, the first and fourth graders are here to give us advice on gratitude.
“It is important to be grateful because then you wouldn’t have a happy day or life.”
“If you have a dog, you should be thankful for it. Imagine if you didn’t have any of the things you have today. That might be how someone else feels. Be thankful.”
“Remember to be thankful by getting a booster shot.”
“Remember to be thankful for God and friends and families and clothes and food and fruit and turkeys.”
“Remember to be thankful for God and friends and families and clothes and food and fruit and turkeys.”
“One reason to be thankful is because if you are thankful then people will get inspired to be thankful too and then the world will be better.”
