the students about things that they are grateful

for and how to appreciate what we have in our

lives, not to take items or people for granite.

course of the month to list things they

appreciate in life and are happy for.

We encourage you to talk to your student at

home about their class ratitude ar.

up the final copy of their story. Final stories

are due on the 21st ELECTRONICALLYONLY. Each class had time in class Monday

and Tuesday to type their papers. All

students also needed to turn in their
