Happy November! I woke up this morning with a huge smile on my face, knowing that I could tuck the Halloween songs away for another year and start the new month out right with a new Thanksgiving tune. Not only am I sharing it with you here today, but I’ll be introducing this song to my students later this morning.
The idea is to kick off this holiday season with an attitude of thankfulness; I want to get my students thinking about the things and people for which they are thankful. Some of them will be able to respond verbally and some will not, and that is perfectly fine. I have plenty to be thankful for, as you will hear:
What are you thankful for?
What are the things that make you smile?
The things in your life you appreciate,
People who go the extra mile.
What are you grateful for?
Who would you like to say thank you to?
I will start: speaking from my heart,
I am thankful for you.
What are you thankful for?
What are the things that make you smile?
The things in your life you appreciate,
People who go the extra mile.
What are you grateful for?
Who would you like to say thank you to?
I will start: speaking from my heart,
I am thankful for you.
Your family and friends at school,
And the teachers who help you learn
Are all people to be thankful for.
Now it’s your turn:
CHORUS
Your bed at night, and where you live,
And the clothes and shoes you wear
Are all things to be thankful for.
Now it’s time for you to share:
CHORUS
The food you eat at every meal,
And the table where you sit
Are all things to be thankful for.
Can you think of more:
CHORUS
A few more things I’m thankful for this month: my brother’s wedding next Saturday, the opportunity to participate in this year’s Children’s Miracle Network radiothon, and my upcoming trip to Cleveland, where I’ll be presenting at the AMTA national conference. Happy November, indeed!
