Acts of Kindness
We are watching for acts of kindness by our classmates. When we see an act of kindness, we write it on a heart and place it around the Grinch. When the Grinch learned the true meaning of Christmas, his heart grew. With Jesus in our hearts, we know that His birth is the reason we celebrate Christmas.

Perspective
In reading, I have introduced the literary term perspective. We practiced this concept by thinking of items for which someone or something else may be thankful. Look at some of the examples below:
George said, “If I were a football player, I would be thankful for the touchdown zone, my football, my pads, my mouthpiece, my eyes, and my feet.”
Cailin stated, “If I were a horse, I would be thankful for hay, grass, water, trainers, riders, and friends.”
Makena said, “If I were a rock star, I would be thankful for music, microphones, the stage, my fans, my voice, and radios.”
Aaron wrote, “If I were Olly, my guinea pig, I would be thankful for hay, Aaron, water, a cage, bedding, fur, oxygen, and a lock.”
Hudson explained, “If I were a policeman, I would be thankful for my gun, my police car, my partner, my chief, and my computer.”
