Onekama's Fifth Graders are Thankful

I am thankful for having a dog. He sleeps at the foot of my bed when my dad is at work. Then I put him on his chain. My dog's name is Bear. He is black with white on his neck. We go running in the field together. He goes with me when I take my baby sister for walks in the summer. That's why I love my dog so much. ...Meghan

I'm thankful for the world. If the world were not here we would not exist. We would not have any where to go. Without the world we wouldn't have food or water. That's why I am thankful for our world. ...Mikelle

I am thankful for having Cady at school because she can come up with good ideas and is funny sometimes. She is very helpful when you are having trouble. It's funny when she gets mad and chases me. Sometimes she can talk forever about one subject though. It's nice having Cady around. ...William

I am thankful for my friends and family because they make me feel joyful. They also make me feel all toasty inside. They make me feel that way because I know they love me. I also know that they are always there for me no matter what. ...Faith

I am thankful for school. If we did not have school you would be dumb. School is good too so you are not bored. School is fun too and has NICE teachers. School is even awesome. (sometimes) ... Brittany

I am thankful for having two sisters. One is three and the other is two. The oldest is Jaylin and the youngest is Tegan. Jaylin goes to Kaleva school and Tegan does not go to school yet. Jaylin goes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That's what I am thankful for. ...Brandon

I am thankful for my family. Many people I hear of don't have a mother and father so I am very thankful for my family because they do so much for me. My mom and dad cook and clean for my brother and me. I am so glad I have such great parents, and sometimes I am thankful for my brother. I am very lucky to have them. They mean so much to me. Thanks! ...Brittany T.

I am thankful for my family because they help me out. They help me with my homework. My dad helps me build things. My brother gets me tools to work on his bike. My mom cleans my clothes. That's why I am thankful for my family. ...Nick

Lucky J. R. is what I am thankful for. He helped me get over Stormey's death. I play with him and he sits in his cat house sleeping, playing and pawing at the toys in there. Sometimes I chase him around the house. At night I am not scared of the dark because Lucky J. R. sleeps with me and bites my feet! I pet him too. He even meaws to himself and purrs loud. He always cleans himself. He is my best friend and I am thankful for him. ....Mariah

I am thankful for my family and friends. I am thankful for my mom and dad or else I would not be here. I am thankful for my friends or else I would be all alone. Without them my life would be an absolute disaster. I love my very strange and bizare family. I adore my friends and especially Nisha, Alex, Clair, Nick, Brittanyu and Will. ...Sierra

I am thankful for my friends. I'm thankful for my friends because they keep me busy when I'm bored. I can also tell them anything that I might not want to tell my parents. I have two very special friends. Their names are Brittany and Erin. I'm thankful for Brittany because she keeps me busy at school and I can always count on her. I'm thankful for Erin because in the summer I'm always bored and we don't have any school friends around, she plays with me and keeps me busy. That's why I'm thankful for them. ...Lauren
