With Thanksgiving weekend upon us, it is a time to reflect and show our gratitude for all of the amazing things each and every one of us have in our lives. Here at EVP we are so lucky to be part of a community where we have our basic needs, feel safe and come to a great place where we get to learn and have fun.
For this week's blog post I would like you to watch the Kid President video on thankfulness. Then I would like you to write about 3-5 things that you are thankful for and why. Why are these people/ideas/things so important to you?
I don’t want you to think about your video games and toys. I want you to really think about what you are lucky to have, that maybe other people in other parts of the world may not have experienced. This week, really dig deep and share with us what you are thankful for this year.
I am thankful for having a house to live in. I am thankful for the food that I eat more than 3 times a day because some countries don't have that much resources. I am thankful for the peaceful and happy country the we live in because some others might live in a wartime condition. I am thankful that I have and most importantly, good health and a family to live with. I am thankful for all the things I have and have done. I am thankful!
ReplyDeleteThings I am thankful for
ReplyDeleteMy family- the reason I am thankful for my family is because they have unconditional love and support. No matter the obstacle or problem you face, your family will always be by your side and they will always show support no matter what.
Food- The reason I am grateful for food gives us the energy to do things we love, and allows us to care and feel for less fortunate people. It gives us a heartbeat and keeps us energetic.
Protection- I am thankful for protection because some people don’t have it and we are lucky to be safe and don’t have to worry of getting killed, because that is happening in some places.
Water- I am thankful for water because without it I would get dehydrated and sick and eventually die.
Good Health- the reason I am grateful for good health is because even if your health isn't great, it could be worse and you likely still have some working parts to be thankful for
I am thankful for living in peace because some people don’t have that and it is hard to live without that. I am also thankful for having love and care from my family and having education because every child needs that! Also that I have food, water, and warmth and you need that to survive so I am thankful for everything I have!

DeleteI have a lot to be thankful for, but I will only share a few or else this would be too long!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I am thankful for is for living in Canada, because it is a safe country, that cares about diversity, and the citizens with health care and education. We have freedom and good laws in Canada and lot's of protection and safety from the bad stuff that happens around the world. Another thing I am very thankful for, is the family I live and connect with everyday because I spend endless time with them and we support each other through difficult times, and laugh very hard through the good times. My family is the most expensive thing for me. I thank God everyday for making me fortunate enough to have my whole family.
Education is very important in the world, and I am so lucky to have access to free education, when there are people around the world who don't know how to read or write, and cannot go to school because they don't have enough money. I am happy to have the opportunity to have a teacher like Ms. Bourne and go to a school like EVP. Many things we use everyday are important and we should remember to be thankful for those things, like clean water, fresh food, roofs over our heads and clothes in our closets. In my religion every day after praying, we remember three different things we are thankful for, and I think that is very important to do. These are just a few things I am thankful for, and especially with what we see and hear online and on the news, this year we should really be grateful as it could be a lot worse.
