It may come as no surprise that for the week of Thanksgiving I wanted to write an article on something related to the holiday. As an early childhood education major, I work with children regularly. Kids often say the strangest things, and I find it amazing that at such a young age, many children can comprehend Thanksgiving. While I was at work, I asked some of the children that I work with to help me compile a list of things they are thankful for.

Here are children's responses to the question "What are you thankful for?", along with the children's respective ages:
