Teacher’s Note: Read the poem aloud in class. Explain to the students the concept of gratitude.

    I am Thankful!

I am thankful for the shining Sun,

In its light, I study, play and run.

I am thankful for my family and friends,

Their love and care has no end.

How can I not thank my friends with fur?

One likes to wag his tail. Another purrs.

I am thankful for the food I eat,

And also for the tasty treats.

Every day is a new and beautiful day,

“Thank you, world” is what I have to say.
