I Am Thankful

by Maggie DeMato

I am thankful for my family,

friends who help me,

food and my doctors,

my school,

the things in my school,

(of course) my parents,

my teachers in my school,

I am especially thankful

for the people who made the earth.

PRIMARY CLASSES - FLOWER SIGN-UP

Flower Arranging is a favorite Practical Life activity for children! Primary parents can help make the Primary classrooms beautiful and provide meaningful work for the children by bringing in a small bouquet of flowers. Thin stems that are easily cut are the best choice for children. Some great choices include carnations, lilies, daisies and mums. To help, please select a week to send in fresh flowers for your child's class using the link below.
