What are Grade 3-4 students at Taylor Park thankful for? Samples of Derek Cockram’s class writing responses:
I am thankful for the air. Without the air I would be choking. Without the air the world would be like mars. I am thankful for the ground. Without the ground I would be falling through the world.
I am thankful for every bit of knowledge. Without knowledge I wouldn’t be typing here and Canada wouldn’t exist because we originated from Africa and if our ancestors didn’t know anything they wouldn’t move here to North America.

I am grateful for my grandma and grandpa because he plants the garden and they cook food for the family. I am thankful for my grandma because she washes the clothes and socks and she also walks me to school.
I am thankful for the trees, because they give us oxygen. Without them, we don’t have clean air to breath. I am also thankful for the plants.
With the plants and the trees we won’t get floods and the grass, because they make the earth more green and beautiful so easily because we won’t have so much water in the ground.

I am thankful for my family, my pet cat, my friends and my little friend Lily the ladybug. My family and friends give me care. If I didn’t have them I would be sad, poor and homeless. I wouldn’t learn the ABCs, and I wouldn’t learn 1+1=2.
I am thankful for my dolls because they keep me company. Without them I would feel absolutely, positively left out. Without my dolls I wouldn’t have anyone to cuddle at bedtime.
I am thankful for God since he created food and created me. If God was not there I would not exist and there would not be any food for people and animals. This is what I am thankful for.
