Happy Friday! We are continuing our focus on the topics of Kindness and Gratitude! This week, we want to share with all of you some things you can do at home for yourself and your family.
Something we do every single day with the children before every snack and meal, we say our “Thank You’s”. We want to share with you and welcome you to do this at home with your family.
“Thank you for the sun, the trees, the mountains, and me. Thank you for the sun, the trees, the mountains, and me. Thank you for our food.”
