Apparently The Celestial Reigns Supreme

/ Dawn Kasal-Finley
At the kids’ school there is a parent portal where the teachers post weekly updates in Kindergarten (daily in Zoë’s class).  This week they posted an update the centered on being thankful.  Each student shared what they were thankful for.  The ego in me, immediately searched for Noah’s name on the list to see how he was thankful for me…
Teachers: We are all thankful for many things.  Can you tell us what are you thankful for?

H:  My pet.
W:  I am thankful for my dog and my family.
E:  I am thankful for my teachers.
Noah:  I am thankful for the moon.
K:  My teachers.
W:  My mom.
M:  This class.
L: My brother, Lucas and my sister, Lina.
H:  I am thankful for my two teachers in this class.
R:  I am thankful for nature, my mom and dad, my dog and my skills.
D:  I am thankful for my baby brother.
El:  I am thankful that I have such a happy, healthy family. I am thankful for the sun.
B: God.
C:  My fish and God.
A: My fish.
I: Nature.
Q:  I am thankful for many things.  My mom, my dad, my sister and my cousin.
S:  I am thankful for Jesus and my baby cousins.
T:  I am thankful for my and Isaac’s friendship.
B:  I am thankful for my kitty.
S: I am thankful for Uchenna and Andrea.
C:  For my uncle who died.
J: I am thankful for Andrea and Uchenna.
S:  I am thankful for my kitty who died. I am thankful for tulips and trees, because I am thankful for the earth.
L: My sister P, and K and E.
E:  I am thankful for L.

Not so much–Noah is thankful for the Moon.  The moon?  Really?

I have so much more work to do with this one.  At least he has a soul mate–one of his best girl friends is thankful for the sun.  Won’t they be happy together.

  1. Don’t fret. I asked AJ for 3 things to write on these turkey feathers for preschool, and she proceeded to name stupid toys she doesn’t even play with that much–“my Cinderella doll, my Ariel doll, my other princess doll.” Really? No, say, ACTUAL PEOPLE? Damn you Disney!

    Besides, the moon keeps the earth working the way we need it to, so that’s not such a bad answer.
