Teaching Gratitude

In November I like to take the time to teach my students about being thankful.  I love to create a display so we can think about it the whole month long.  This year we created a thankful tree using Ellison dies.  You can check out how I made this bulletin board by checking out my post on the Ellison blog here.

Since I am teaching my students about being thankful, I just want to say how thankful I am to all of you who continue to read my blog.  I am thankful for all the wonderful people the blogging world has brought into my life!

What are you thankful for?  Sound off in the comments below.  :)
