Mrs. Marilyn Doan
4th Grade
East Washington Elementary School
I am thankful for my school and I have two reasons why…My first reason why I am thankful for my school is because, in case I am stuck on a math problem I can ask for help from a teacher. Teachers are there to teach and help us kids. My second reason why I am thankful for school is because, if I am having a bad day or if someone is mean to me I can talk to the school therapist and we can work things out. I know if we didn’t have school we wouldn’t have the friends, education and fun we have today. In conclusion, I am thankful for school because we get to learn things, make new friends and have fun! Those are the reasons that I am thankful for school.
-Fallon Dalton

-Nathan Pisut
I am thankful for my house. One reason I am thankful for my house is it gives me shelter. So my family won't be in some type of storm or something like that. Another reason I am thankful for my house is that it gives me space to put important stuff like food. My house is important to give us shelter because we can get sick. We obviously need somewhere to put our belongings or it will be all over the place. This shows I am thankful for my house!
-Layni Kennedy
I am so thankful for our veterans. I Thank you Veterans for what you did and what you still do. My first reason I'm thankful for Veterans is because our veterans risked their lives on the battlefield. My second reason that I am thankful is because is that we have won almost every battle, if not almost then we have won every battle, that's because our veterans see the battle before it happens. I know this great country would not still be here if it was not for our military. These are the reasons why I’m thankful for our Veterans!
-Knox Heath
I am thankful for my freedom. I am thankful for freedom because older women get to vote. My other reason is that I now have the right to run around and have fun. If I did not have freedom then a lot of people would not be able to vote or even become a slave for other people. In conclusion this is why we need freedom.
-Marlee Ruckman
I'm thankful for women's rights because women would not be able to vote if it wasn’t for our rights. I am also thankful for women's rights because they would not be in the army. I know that if we did not have this people would not see that women are strong. I also know that if we did not have women's rights the men would be above women. That is why I'm thankful for women's rights.
-Sadie Hoke
I am thankful for my parents. I am thankful for my parents because when I am hurt they help make me feel better.

In conclusion, I am thankful for farmers! So if you see a farmer, please tell them thanks for what they do!
-Hunter Pugh
What I am thankful for is my family. Without them, I would not be loved. If I did not have a family that loved me, cared for me, and gave me confidence, I would not be where I am in life. I would not have the stuff I have today. Like if I lost a game of baseball and I was sad my family would help me overcome that sadness! I’m especially thankful for the almost 10 years that I had with my mother. She recently died from cancer and I wouldn’t trade the years we shared together for anything!

-Alexander Dolleris
I’m thankful for education. My first reason is we have ovens and we can create fire with education. We can cook food with education and make great meals like we have burgers, hotdogs, french fries, and tacos. Those are all good foods but we made all of that with education. We had the idea of a way to cook food with a button and a switch to cook it and the idea of the food. My second reason is with education we have scarfs, jackets, blankets, and all sorts of stuff to keep us warm and we make all of it with education and good sewing and other stuff but education. Without education we wouldn't have nearly everything humans made, nearly because we could drop a bunch of sticks then somehow make a fire like the sun could reflect and only hit the pile of sticks then fire. That's all the reasons I'm thankful for education.
-Samuel Sessions
I’m thankful for my cat, Rosemary. I cannot live without her. My first reason that I'm thankful for Rosemary is that I can't sleep without her. She helps me to stay calm. My second reason that I'm thankful for Rosemary is that she is SO funny. I love all the little crazy things she does that makes me laugh. I know that I cannot live without her, she provides me with so much joy even though she's only a cat, she keeps me calm!

However, I’m thankful for this country and the Veterans for their service!

My mom gives shelter to live under and she gave me life! Thank You Mom!
-Averee Odum
I am thankful for my school. My first reason I'm thankful for my school is because if we did not have it we would not be able to learn a lot of things. My second reason I'm thankful for school is because when we are adults we would not know how to pay bills by using math skills.

-Adalee Brough
I am thankful for life because without life we would not be alive to see this amazing world. The first reason I am thankful for life is because we would not be alive without life, this is because we won't have oxygen to breath and there won’t be fruits or vegetables. My second reason I am thankful for life is because animals are important and without life herbivores won’t have any plants to eat. I know that if life was not a thing, all herbivores would die and we would also die without oxygen. In conclusion, I am thankful for life because all animals would die just like how we would due to no oxygen, and food.
-Mason Farnsley
I am thankful for my freedom. My first reason I am thankful for my freedom is people worked hard and people died for our freedom.

I know if we didn’t have our freedom we would not have our home in America. In conclusion, this is why I am thankful for my freedom!
