Greeting Cards
Hello To You (poem)
Have children fold a piece of construction paper in half. Let

chalkboard. Children from ethnic backgrounds not mentioned in the
poem may add their greetings to the list.
Have each child choose the greeting that he or she wants to use.
Children write the greetings they have chosen on the insides of their
cards. Assist children in writing if necessary. If they wish, they
may decorate the inside of their cards after they have written the greetings.

Thanksgiving
Prayer
Two little legs jumping all around
But when I pray my legs sit down
Ten little fingers wiggle every way
But I fold my hands when I pray
One little mouth to softly say
Thank You God for making me this way
