Sing to the tune of Frère Jacques
Turkey Dinner, turkey dinner,
Gather round, gather round,
Who will get the drumstick?
Yummy, yummy drumstick,
All sit down, all sit down.
Cornbread muffins, chestnut stuffing,
Puddin' pie, one foot high,
All of us were thinner
Until we came to dinner;
Me oh my! Me oh my!
Charge and Blessing: Gratitude by Joyce Rupp
Gratitude Thanks Giving Prayer
Here's to enjoying the company of good friends and family. We wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving
Did the children at the Plymouth Colony Thanksgiving feast play these games? Could be! Some of them are very old. Everyone should join and don't forget your camera!
All parents want their children to get a good education and prepared to be a functional member of society one day. However, other than teaching them the skills necessary for their future jobs, a child should also be shown how to be a good and gentle person, somebody who‚"ll be kind to people and the world they live in. One way to do this is to teach them gratitude and that 'thank you‚" or ‚"please‚" aren't just words, but ones that they should mean from the bottom of their hearts. Here are some ways to achieve that.
When you do things together, as a family, it creates a stronger bond between you and your children, so use this to instill gratitude in them. Find a good cause to volunteer for and encourage your little ones to join you. You can donate old clothes, books or anything else you don't have a use for any more, and your kids can help you pack those things. If they develop the understanding for the hardships of others, they will be happy to do what they can to make a difference, while developing a feeling of deeper gratitude for what they have.
A good school doesn't only focus on curriculum and passing down knowledge in different subjects. A good school will also pay attention to building children‚"s character, developing their empathy and teaching them to be the best version of themselves.
