With Thanksgiving right around the corner, many of our students as well as teachers, will be taking the much anticipated break to spend with friends and family. I believe it is also a great time of the year to allow students to reflect on the things that they are thankful to have happened to them this year. Sometimes when students are tired or thinking about their family situation, it is not always a happy vision that they have. This is why this time of year is a great time to lighten the spirits of those students as well as others, to use the festive atmosphere to at least give them that moment of joy while they are still in school. I feel it is important for everyone to take in the moment and enjoy the week until everyone leaves for the holiday. The work we do with students extends beyond the classroom, and sometimes simply letting students know we will be there when they come back, gives them something to look forward to.
