This month our Colors of Character Education Program is focusing on gratitude. Gratitude is being aware of and being thankful for the good things that happen; taking time to express thanks. We are encouraging students to show gratitude to someone at home, in school and to a veteran. Please comment on this post about how you will show gratitude toward others, your classmates and veterans.
Listen to our book of the month, America’s White Table.
Love the video! are there any questions to go with it?
It’s a happy yet sad story. It is very sad that the uncle got captured, but happy because his heart was pure gold and tried to help his best friend. (not to mention he survived). I think this stories moral is to sometimes stop and remember those people who risked their life for you, such as police, soldiers, and firefighters.
This is a very touching story Ms. Early! I’m hoping we read more stories like these!!! : )

Diego, what great insight on the book. I agree that it is important to just stop, now and then, to show gratitude for those around us that keep us safe. we will be reading more stories like this. I am glad you liked it! 🙂 Ms. Early
Hi Ms. Early I really liked this video and I can show gratitude towards someone like my friends and teacher I hope we can read more of these books later in the course of the year
I can show gratitude by thanking someone i appreciate of righting them a note. I really like the video, its kind of sad, but happy. I really like patriotic books, I hope we read more books like this one. And Mrs. Early I see the questions now.
