Give Thanks Banner

October 15, 2012 //  by Courtney

 As each year progresses,

I am learning my style of parenting.

I love when my kids learn through fun.

I love when I can sneak in a character trait

right into an experience and they don’t even roll their eyes!

I love when teaching looks less like a lecture

and more like an adventure.

I LOVE the month of November.

I love getting their hearts set on the idea of

GRATITUDE

GIVING THANKS

THANKFULNESS

WHAT BETTER TIME OF YEAR

to count our blessings and do it consistently

so a lesson sinks deep and a fun family tradition is started.

(with a twist … keep reading)

Last year, I made a board at home and we thanked God for one item or person per day.

This year, my Ella is all about “words” and “reading”

so I had a new thought and concept…

(similar to ABC Scripture Cards – I believe anything is a WIN when it decorates AND teaches! Score!)

As usual, I called Katie.

(because her eye and execution is always 100x better)

“Katie, I want a banner that says “thankful” or grateful” and then has a

pocket somehow where we can collect words that start with each letter.”

So, T – we are thankful for

TEACHERS
