Thanksgiving Thoughts
For many of us, Thanksgiving is a special holiday filled with memories of delicious food, relaxing long weekends, and time to spend with family. It's the first official holiday of the "holiday season" and it's a nice reminder to take a break and think about all that we have to be thankful for. Is there someone or something that has been especially meaningful for you this past year? Why don't you take a moment to acknowledge it? Enjoy the time with your family and friends and see you Monday!

I would be thankful for the new friends I have made during 6th grade.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else?
I agree with you Jake but I must also add that I am thankful for the fact that I've been able to keep the friends I already had. One of everyone's biggest fears about going to middle school is losing the friends they had so I must say that I am thankful for still having them. I am also completely thankful to have such a supportive and loving family.
ReplyDeleteAlthough new and old friends are important, I believe that having the new and old get along is even more important. I do not want to be Switzerland, stuck in the middle of two hateful sides. Therefore, I am thankful that my old friends don't mind having a new person included in our sleepovers or someone from a different school in the seat next to us at the movies. I am very proud of both of my sets of friends, which I now consider as one whole set.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my family AND my old and new friends. They bring the best out of me, make me a better person. Without them, my life wouldn't be the same. I wouldn't have anybody to watch the Macy's parade with, to complain about how hard that last math test was, or to debate with about our taste in music. These small things in life I am also thankful for, such as chocolate chip cookies and weekends after a long and monotnous week of BAT testing. They make me happy and make me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteI am also thankful for a wonderful life and a roof over my head. Sometimes, I think about how some kids don't even have houses, let alone nice ones. This year was tough, but I am thankful for everything I love and take for granted every day.
I agree with Sydney and Tara the most because some of the new friends that I have made in 6th grade are now also friends with my old ones. I am also thankful for having a nice house and as Tara said, this year has been a tough year, but I am very thankful and grateful for all of the things I love take for granted every day.
ReplyDeleteI love Thanksgiving because I think Thanksgiving is a holiday where families and friends come together and give thanks to all of the things we have and take for granted. Sometimes we need to relax, take a break from all our hard work(in school,chores,etc.)and smile because we have such loving and caring friends and families, and pets if you have any.=} Everyone needs to think about all of our priveliges and advantages and be grateful for them because as Tara pointed out, not that many people are as priveliged as we are. I also love thanksgiving because it's the only time you can stuff your face without being judged!=} haha.....so what did you guys eat for Thanksgiving?
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is a fun holiday to share with family and friends. You get to eat a lot of food and show your thankfulness for the stuff that you were given that year.
ReplyDeleteWell this past year for thanksgiving something very exciting happened.
