Thanksgiving is my favorite time of the year. It’s a time we give thanks
to God for blessing us through the year. But we also give to those without
wanting anything in return. When we moved to Sylvania 6 years ago my
family started a tradition. This tradion means a lot to me. Its taught me
the meaning of giving thanks and giving to others. On thanksgiving day
my family and I pepare 3 big thanksgiving meals, one for us, one for the
city fire department and one for the county fire department. We eat our
thanksgiving meal, we take the fire depts their meal. They don’t get to
celabrate with their familys so we show them thanks. They are always
very happen and even let us take pictures by the fire trucks with them
thanksgiving means giving to others and being thankful.

Thanksgiving is an important holiday buy why? Let me tell you about the
first thanksgiving. The pilgrims were going to amaerica it was cold whin
they stop. In the spring came they need to learn how to feed themslves.
The native american showed the how to grow plants. Because the native
american lived in amaerica for a long time. Also the native amaerica knew
how to suvive. In the fall the pilgrims gathered a lot of food this ment they
had lots of food to eat and we still celebrat thankgiving why so we can spin
time with family and friends.

Damiyah Kirkland, 4th Grade
Thanksgiving means 3 things to
me. Food, family, and fun. I like
to eat chicken tenders, macaroni
and cheese, ham, and turkey. The
rest of my family eats food that I
might eat when I grow up. There
are some foods that we eat only on
Thanksgiving. Being around my
family on Thanksgiving is the best
thing I could ask for, because I love
them so much. We eat together and
we decorate our Christmas tree.
We always do fun things together.
Watching movies is my favorite thing
to do with my family. Thanksgiving
is fun. You can play games, make
arts and crafts, and draw pictures of
turkeys. I like to trace my hand to
look like a turkey. I also like to watch
the Thanksgiving parade with all the
balloons and the marching bands. I
like to hang out with my family and
watch it.
Parker Robbins, 5th Grade
To me, Thanksgiving is sharing the
blessings that have been bestowed
upon me with those who are less
fortunate. Thanksgiving is a time
when American families, reunite,
express gratitude for one another,
and feel closer to another than at
any other time. Thankfulness is
the natural impulse to express that
feeling. Throughout the year I learn
from those around me about kindness
and empathy. These lessons come
not only from my parents and family
members but also from my friends,
club members, neighbors, and
community members. Sometimes
they come from people I don’t even
know like a military member or a
family that went through a natural
disaster. Other times I learn from
I like to spend time with my family and friends no thanksgiving. It
makes me happy to share. We engoy playing board games especcauy
plyaying conncect four, that’s my faorita gam. I bet my auntie alto with
that game. I love the foods we have on Thanksgiving, like turkey, green
beans, com, rice, greens, dressing and macaroni and cheese and lastlee
I just want to say I am grateful and give thank for it all.
