Happy Thanksgiving!!!

For Thanksgiving this year I was able to spend it at my site with my students. I taught them about American holidays and the traditions that comes along with them. I spoke to them about how the meaning behind Thanksgiving is to bring families together so they can give thanks for all the food and happiness that we have in life. I decided to have them do an art activity that I remember doing in the third grade that would have them practice with their writing and speaking skills. They cut out the outline of a turkey and then traced their hands which they also cut out in order to make feathers. They had a good time making them and I really enjoyed listening to them speak about the five things that they are grateful for. One student said he is grateful for his bike, a few of them sad that they are grateful for their books and most of them said they are grateful for their family. They are such great students. I couldn't help but feel grateful that i was able to spend my last Thanksgiving in Cambodia with them.
