I'm thankful for electricity so when it gets dark I can turn on a light and keep my food cold in the refrigerator and work machans and to power phones and video games when they dead or need to be charged.

I am thankful for water and food because they can keep my stomach full and water can hidreat me and keep me nice and healthy.

I’m thankful for freedom because I wouldn’t be able to go to the store to buy a pack of gum. Land is very important to me because my house is on our land. My yard is big, I like to mow it and play football because it is long with only one hill. My house has about 10 appliances, and 3 T.V.’s. I’m very thankful for all of them because most families can’t afford them. When I’m sick, I sleep in my comfortable bed. All my food is cooked on an appliance like the grill, stove, or oven. Water is good for me because if I didn’t have water, I would be dehydrated and possibly have a headache. Finally, I’m very thankful for all the things I have.

I am thankful my family. I am thankful for my family because without it I know food, no pets, know house and know place to live. With a family I have a house, food and almost everything I want and need.

I have pets that I am thankful for too. My pets are Zumie ( A dog), Bella ( A cat), and Jedi another cat. I love my pets and I do not know how I would live without them.

I am also thankful for food. If I did not have food I would die in at least 24 hours. That is a long time without food. So I am very thankful for food.

Money is very important. So I am very thankful for too. I use money to go shopping. I love shopping. So of course I am very thankful for money.

I almost forgot I am thankful for a world too. A world is where you live. If I did not have a world I would not be writing this.SO we should all be thankful for a world.

I am thankful for a roof over my head because I get to stay out of the cold at night. Another reason I am thankful for a roof over my head is because I get to stay in a nice warm cozy bed.

I am also thankful for a wonderful family because I get someone to love and to care about all day while I am at school. The people that I like the most in my family is my mom and my grandma because they take care of me and they make sure that nothing ever happens to me.

Another thing that I am thankful for is my brand new shoes because they keep my feet warm and they are new instead of my old raggedy shoes.

One more thing that I am thankful for is my clothes because if I didn’t have clothes I would probably would rather be home school instead of going to school maybe I don’t have the nicest clothes but at least they are nice looking clothes.

Last but not least I think that I am thankful for is food because if I didn’t have food I would probably die of hunger and that wouldn’t be good because I like my life and if i did die of hunger I would be in heaven and I would not like that.

The first thing was a roof over my head. Another thing that I am thankful for is about having a roof over my head is that I don’t really get to sleep out in the cold. I am really thankful about having a roof over my head.

What I really am thankful for besides someone to love and care about all day is that I know that someone is there for me to take care of me and get me to school on time and help me with everything that I am now. If I didn’t have family I probably wouldn’t be the person that I am now.

The next thing that I need to talk about that I am thankful for is my brand new shoes because they are the nicest shoes that I ever had and I want to thank my mom.

I’m also thankful for food. Food gives me strength and keeps me healthy.

Education is one more thing i'm thankful for. It can get a good job and it can get me in to colage.


place I live in my house. My house keeps me protected from the hot and cold weather.

Freedom is the last thing i'm thankful. Freedom gives me the right to go to the school I want and free speech. And these are just a couple things i'm thankful for.

I am also thankful for food because if I didn’t have food I would be very hungry every day so I would go hunting.

Finally I'm thankful for freedom because freedom is privacy and the right to do anything you want.

There are many things I am thankful for.Here are 5 thing I am thankful for.One of them is my family because my mom and dad take care of me especially when I am sick. My sisters play with me and have fun with me. My brother looks up to me and plays with me. The names in my family are Rick (Dad), Laura ( Mom), Rachel, Alyssa ( Sisters) and my brother Joey.

Another thing I am thankful for is my friends because they play with me at recess and they talk with me. They also help me when I am hurt and they make me happy when I am sad.

Another thing I am thankful for is food. I am thankful for that because I am lucky to have because some families don’t have food. It also keeps me alive and healthy.

Another thing I am thankful for is my home. It keeps me safe in bad storms. It also keeps me cool when I am very hot. It also protects me from bad things.


The last out of the 5 things I am thankful for is life. I am thankful for life because some people die young and it is like they do not have a life. Those are the five things I am thankful for.

I am thankful for my family and friends because friends comfort you and make sure you're not alone. Family helps you with a lot of things, family also loves you and feeds you and gives you a house. Family is basically your life saver. Family and friends are very nice and loving.

I am also thankful for my home because my house keeps me safe and it is my shelter. If I did not have a house then I would get super wet when it would rain. Without a house I would be homeless. Some people are homeless and that made me realize that I am very lucky.

Another thing I am thankful for is food and water because food is healthy and it will get you active. Water keeps you alive. Without food and water you would probably die.

The fourth thing I am thankful for is my pets because my pets are very nice. They always cuddle with you keep you company. Pets are so cute because you get to play with them.

The last thing I am thankful is money and school because without money you would not have anything. Money is very important because you buy food, water, bed and a lot more stuff. Without school you would not know math or reading or anything. You need to go to school to learn and get a education.

These are the five things I am thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!!

I think kids should be able to play a contact sport any age but not to young then they will get to hurt. Also they get stronger so they can do more stuff like learn how to tackle and play right. My last reason is to have fun because you don't want to play if you're not having fun and kids are making illegal hits to the head and that's how they are getting concussions.
