growing & learning with him
By Deirdre
Welcome! My name is Deirdre and I am JDaniel4's Mom. After teaching in Virginia for twenty years, I was a stay at home mom learning and growing beside my son JDaniel the 4th for five years. I recently went back to teaching at a local school here in South Carolina.
Christine says

This is great! I’ve been trying to teach my kids to be thankful. Maybe, making this will help them learn to appreciate their blessings in life.

Love this tree! We have real branches with fabric leaves from Target that we are writing on. It’s been a big hit here too.

Super, super cute! My girls will love this…and we’ll be home during the week of Thanksgiving, so we’ll have to try it then.

With Christmas being plastered all over the stores right now it’s easy for kids to miss Thanksgiving. This is a great idea~! we all need to have this tree on the table..we tend to forget what we are Thankful for.. Thanks for the idea…

This is so simple to make yet so important. It is sometimes challenging to remind children to be grateful.

You are one fun mama! I love this tree idea! I may do a Thanksgiving tree from a real tree branch and spray paint it, or not and add leaves of thankfulness. Great idea! Enjoy the week!

We’re planning to make a thankful tree too. I love how you did yours. I’ve never seen that style before. 🙂

That sounds like a very good idea. I could use one of those myself as a little reminder. It’s good for children and adults.

Very nice idea! We’re making a Thankfulness Tree this week, but it’s not 3D. Just construction paper to hang on our bulletin board. ;0)
