Showing Appreciation

 All of us have people who help us.  When we're young, we get help from family and friends every day.  As we grow we often still get help from family and friends, but now we are able to offer to help them too.  It's important to show appreciation for all the help we receive.  In Canada, we have set aside certain days to do this.  For example, in May, on the second Sunday of the month we celebrate 'Mother's Day'. Next month, we celebrate 'Father's Day' on the third Sunday of the month.
It's nice to recognize all the hard work parents do to make sure we can grow up in a safe and healthy way, but I'm sure we show our appreciation for the help we receive in many ways throughout the year, not just one day of the year. 
Let's start a collection of ideas.  In the comment section, tell how you or others show 'thanks' to people who are important to you and who help you throughout the year.

I help my mom by making her bed sometimes. I help my Mom when I make dinner for our family. She says my food is delisous.

I'm grateful to have a caring, helpful and loving parents. I have learned many things from my mom, she cooks for me and supports me in many ways. On her birthday I offered to buy something for her, but she said she did not want anything, she only wanted me to be a good boy and become successful when I grow up. I promise mom, that I will be good and will try my best. Thank you mom and dad!

I'm thankful for my Dad to cook yummy food and my Mom to go bike riding with me everyday. I'm thankful that we're usually all nice to each other in my family and that we help each other. I'm also thankful for my brother who reaches stuff for me and for sleeping in the hotel bed that we found a bug in so I didn't have to.
