Keanul has a homework assignment on "What I am Thankful for?" Seeing how it's close to Thanksgiving, I guess it's an appropriate assignment. He has to come up with 40 things to be thankful/grateful for. It's a bit much, is it not? But I guess there is a lot to be thankful for in all reality, isn't there! There is so much it's hard to know were to begin. I guess when you have to write stuff on paper it makes it kind of hard to think of things. It is like being put on the spot.
Well I won't tell you 40 things that I'm thankful for, but I will tell you a few. My top 6 of things to be thankful for is:
1) my family.
I love my family. I am thankful for having them.
2) God
How could you not be thankful for this man. He created it all.
3) Running water
I think it speaks for itself.
4) My health
I am truely thankful for this.
5) Being alive
There is so much to be done and so little time.
6) Being able to watch and participate in my children's lives.
This is truly one of my biggest blessing!
This list is subject to change at any given time... lol

Jeez! FORTY?! I gave the same assignment to my students this week and expected FIVE! Granted, my EBD students are reluctant writers...but holy cow. Is your son learning disabled? If it's too much, the assignment could be modified. Or he could write, "I'm thankful for green M & Ms. I'm thankful for red M & Ms. I'm thankful for..." Just kidding, of course. I'm sure once he gets started, he'll be done before he knows it. Just let him type it.
40 things?
I'm impressed by that teacher.
:)
I love your list.
