I Am Thankful—A Poem

Make a poem that says Thank You - two very important words. Saying Thank You makes you and lots of others feel good. These are special words that help your wishes, dreams and goals come true.

Think about eight things that you are thankful about and write them down. There! You¹ve finished your poem.

Now, put a star next to the Thank You that means the most to you. This one will become part of the
"I am Thankful" class poem.
