This is the time of the year when we focus on all that we have to be thankful for and giving to others in our community. Giving to others not only helps our neighbor but it is often said that the giver receives more than they give. The joy that fills your heart when you give to others out of kindness is like no other.
This week for What to Read Wednesday we are learning the value of giving to other.
But first, our featured post from last week is A Lego Thanksgiving from Gypsy Road School.
