Thanksgiving Posters

There is something about the book of Psalms that soothes my soul.  When I was pregnant with my youngest son, I read and reread this encouraging book so much, that I just had to select David as his middle name (his first name is Christopher~ "Christ -bearer"). As we prepare for and anticipate our Thanksgiving celebrations and feasts, I think it's important to prepare our hearts as well.  Here's a verse that I have been meditating on the last few days:

I want to share with you a small set of posters I made to decorate your classroom. Some have Bible verses on them while others are more secular in nature. With my young sons and my primary students, I find Thanksgiving a great time to remind them that we should have a thankful attitude each and everyday!  We begin and end the day with thankful prayers to our gracious and merciful God.

I Thank God For...

Do you need a quick bulletin board idea or decoration for Thanksgiving??? 

Oh yes, and for Free!!!

Turkey Printable

You can print these on colored paper or the students may color them.  Older children can write what they are thankful for on the sign.  Younger children  either can draw a picture or have an adult write what they are thankful for on the sign. If desired, children may cut around the rectangular shape.   

These can be used as book covers, Thanksgiving cards, or decorations. 

A good bible story is when Jesus healed the ten lepers, but only one remembered to say thanks.

I Am So Thankful....

This morning, I just finished creating this turkey, when my computer crashed!!!! However, by the Grace of God and with help from my wonderful husband, my computer and turkey were restored.
