We're Thankful!

So I was thinking how most of the time when I am having a bad day at school there is always  one of my friends that shows me Christ's love and brings me out of my funk. I have a friend in my room this year that is challenging to say the least. We are making some progress with behavior choices but with the very few breaks we have this year with the new schedule change, this friend's behavior has been taking a nose dive back to frustrating days. Today however, after a tough morning we started writing.

Our topic today: I am Thankful...

Boy, was I proud of the list we made! We got to discuss so many things, even how we are thankful for worms because they help some plants grow haha.
But most of all I was happy to share my PI experience with them some more and we got to discuss why we were thankful for God and Jesus and our families. I love hearing that my kiddos know what Jesus did for them and that they are thankful for it and even thankful that they get to go to church on Sundays!

Here are a few of their papers!
