Humorous and Magnificent Thanksgiving Writings

(from the hearts and hands of young children)

Please keep in mind that these were young children whom I taught. They were still learning to write well. You may feel free to judge their formal rules of writing as a bit shoddy, but be slow to judge their hearts by the same measure. Their hearts are likely purer than yours and mine.

(Well, if I were a bush growing anywhere near this kid’s apartment, I might be on the lookout for some yellow rain sometime soon.)

“I am thankful for bad guys. If there was not any bad guys I could never be a good policemans when I grow up.”

(You bad guys out there — thank you for keeping law enforcement in business.)
