lessons in the book for every week of the year. I am having my
teachers do a Thanksgiving Lesson. It will focus on gratitude
and blessings and teach the scripture story of the 10 lepers.
The notes for this lesson can be found in the Thanksgiving
Lesson Idea.doc
I'm also attaching pictures
for:

This is what I did for the children in my nursery for lesson

I let the kids take turns shaking the die, but; I just moved a

picture showed being a good neighbor or a bad neighbor. I
had the kids do a thumbs up for good, and a thumbs down for
bad. They loved it, and we had a good discussion.
