On Fridays, we give thanks. We read the book Giving Thanks by Chief Jake Swamp. An example from the book is thanking the wind for bringing us fresh air. After we read the book, we sit in a circle and pass a talking stone (if you hold the stone, it is your turn) and we say what we are thankful for. The children who are uncomfortable speaking can just pass the stone without sharing what they are thankful for. This weekly activity reminds us of all the wonderful things we have in our life. There is always something to be thankful for. Last week, if I remember correctly, I gave thanks to the sun for shining and warm us and to the flowers for growing and sharing their beauty. I wonder what I will be thankful for today....
