Pass The Turkey, Please

It's time to give thanks with family and friends.

You didn't hear from me, Ms. Mona and my friends last week, because we have been preparing for Thanksgiving. We bought food stuff for Thanksgiving dinner at the grocery store and looked for holiday decorations. We had fun looking at the decorations for Chrismas too. The store had a lot of things that smelled god too. We tried to smell all of the different kinds of scented candles they had. You know every thing started to smell the same, so we looked at the pretty Christmas flower arrangements and trees. We were thankful for being able to have fun shopping at looking at all the colorful, shinny and good smelling things in the store. Now it's your turn to tell me how you and your family prepare for Thanksgiving? I want you to also take time to sit quietly and think of all the things you are thankful for. There is two other words for giving thanks and that is having gratitude or being grateful. Write me back in the comments section.

Happy Thanksgiving.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Always mind your manners.

Say please, thank you and excuse me too.

Never talk with your mouth full of food.

Wipe your mouth with a napkin even if your sleeve had been used before.

Leave the table if you have to blow your nose or
blow out something else.

Remember to excuse yourself, it would be mighty nice.

Eat all the food you take, because if you don't cousin you know who

will eat it for you, in a flash.

Desserts on it's way.

Oh my, oh my blueberry pie and ice cream stew just for me and you.

We eat all of our food and cleaned our messy faces in the

holiday tissue paper too.

Do you like changes?

Many people do not like changes because it means doing something different from what they are use to. Changes can be a positive thing if you give it a try. Changes gives you a chance to learn new things, meet new people or find a new way to do things.

Last Tuesday, November 4th, 2008, the United States made a change. They elected for the first time an African American to become the 44th President of the united States.

His name is Barack Obama.
Mr. Obama talked about how Americans can help him make a change. He said that they can help him make sure that children get health care; like go to the doctor even if their parents don't have the money. Sunrae and her friends really like this change, because one of Sunrae's friends really cares about people and want to be a nurse when she grows up. So when a child goes to the doctor, Sunrae's nurse friend won't worry that she can't help the child because their parent can't pay her medical bill.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I am create in the image of Joyfulness. I have Joy in me right now because it is always with me.

Magical You

Hey do you have magic shoes.

Well me and my dancing friends discovered this week that we have magic dance shoes.

Ha! Ha! imagine that.

You see, while I and my dance class friends; along with Ms. Mona were rehearsing for the soon to be seen "The Chocolate Nutcracker", discovered that when we didn't wear our dance shoes we didn't dance very well. Guess what? As soon as we put on our dance shoes (ballet slippers, tap or jazz shoes) we remembered our dance steps, where our place was suppose to be in the group dance and arms movements too. Everyone left rehearsal very tired, sweaty and hungry too, but we were excited about doing well.

Magic is really something that happens when you really believe in yourself and work hard at doing your best. MAGIC=CONFIDENCE=SUCCESS.

So the next time you don't feel sure about something you are good at, put your whole body, mind and spirit into, and see MAGIC HAPPEN.

THOUGHT FOR DAY

No matter what happens my life. I count it all JOY!!!

I am grateful.
