One of the first social skills we teach to toddlers is to say “thank you” … and we follow up on that in preschool.

If a big kid holds the door for you, if a teacher hands you a snack, if someone compliments your cute new boots, you say “Thanks”!

There’s a lot to be thankful for, and this time of year we spend time talking about it … and doing something about it.

We thank our special teachers. We thank our moms and dads. And, since we’re in Catholic school, we thank God for all our gifts! ❤

Finally, we make turkeys with Thankfulness feathers!

Whether you’re teaching a class or have children of your own, coloring Thankfulness Turkeys is a simple way to help them understand the meaning of Thanksgiving.

While I didn’t have time to color my own, one of the things I am thankful for is YOU. Blessings to you this Thanksgiving. May you experience much joy!
