Thanksgiving Writing and Art

With this month having been the time that we celebrate how thankful we are for all that God has given us, the 5G class worked on two projects based on the theme of thankfulness.

The first project was an art project.  A still life with a fall theme was set up in the classroom.  It looked like this.

The students then were to draw and apply colour, shading and texture using chalk pastels.  These are a few of the student projects.

The second project that we worked on was a poetry assignment.  For this assignment, the students were given a number of verses on the theme of thanksgiving from throughout the Bible.  The students were then to write phrases inspired by the verses and come up with a phrase that would repeat throughout their own poems.  The repeated phrase became the title of the poem and the phrases were arranged into verses.  There were wonderful results from this assignment.  The following are a couple of poems written by students.

I Will give thanks to the LORD for He is AMAZING

Every time I think of my friends I thank you

I enter your house and it makes me feel good

I thank the LORD for he is good; his love goes on forever

Honour and praise is what the LORD deserves

Give thanks to the LORD for he is AMAZING

I don’t want to be quiet because I am thankful

I am strong because of the LORD; he protects, helps me and makes me happy

I will tell my friends and family to praise God

God you are so good and I thank you all the time

Give thanks to the LORD for he is AMAZING

When you go to church thank God, when you are in church praise him

Grow strong in the LORD, always be thankful

You can’t get in trouble for being thankful

In all things give glory, Give thanks to the one who lives forever.

Give thanks to the LORD for he is AMAZING

Always Give thanks

We should give thanks to God for he brought Jesus

We should always give thanks, even for food

God loves us so we should give thanks

Give thanks to the LORD for he is AMAZING!
