Although this week was short we were able to begin a project that was intended to remind the children of some things to be thankful for. Each child was given a cup with a picture of them on it , some soil and some cat grass seeds.

They all filled their cups with the soil and sowed the seeds. Each day since the beginning of the week we’ve been watering our seeds and giving them sun in hopes that they will grow. The thought process behind this was to give the kids a physical tangible item that could help them understand it concept of being thankful.

Hashem provides us with food ,water , sun and love . All of these things are what we need as people to live and thrive. The children are giving all of the same things to the plants in hopes that they too will grow and thrive. I will be sending them all home today and hopefully with a little TLC the grass will begin to sprout. I’ll also sent home a couple extra seeds in case it doesn’t work and you guys wanna try again.

Today at lunch I asked the students that were present to tell me one thing that they were thankful for and this is what they said.

Mila “ mommy daddy and my pets”

Ella “ my dog and Mika”

Carmel “ for eggs”

Yehonathon “ for Booba and Sophie they are cool pets”

I hope all of you have a very safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday with loved ones.
