*Give Thanks*

For the month of November I had my students write down three things a day they were grateful for. I've picked a few of my favorites to share with you. I typed the responses as the kids wrote them; obviously, we have substantial spelling and grammar to work on.

Boys:
** My friends because they always got my back. There the best.
** Rugby. Nuthing is more dangeres or fun than almost getting killed!
** I am thankful for the buatafel BYU stadom.
** BYU players. There strong they never give up.
** Cows for hamburgers and stake and milk.

Girls:
** My name because it's so pretty and everyone knows who I am.
** Thankful for Dad. If you didn't have a dad we would be a hobo.
** I am thankful for my clouths so I won't be bare.

Apparently my kids really value appearance. Many of them mentioned hair:
** Girl: I am thankful for hair because we whould look uglue.
** Girl: I am thankful for my hair. It makes me look a-m-azing.
** (Personal favorite) Boy: I am thankful for jell [gel] because if we didn't have jell our head would be all over the play's.

*Happy Thanksgiving*

Whooo! Entry 1 on the blog [yeuh!]. With the holiday in mind, I figured there is no better time to begin a blog. Here are the top three blessings in my life:

Friends
For the 347 days in the year when I'm not at home, these dear people act as my family. I love them and all of the memories we've shared.


Family
They might be the craziest people I know, but I love them.


Teaching
While this has been a very hard year, I am so thankful that I can call myself a teacher. Few people can say that they go to work every day and see someone changed for the better. I love these darlings.
