FINN’S CORNER

Finn’s Corner: A Thanksgiving Thank You Mission

The real Finn, a black-and-white French bulldog, looking up at the camera while standing on a rug.

With Thanksgiving coming up, I wanted to give our little adventurers a mission that doesn’t need a big meal, fancy supplies, or a perfect holiday.

This time, Finn’s adventure is about making sure someone knows they matter. All it takes is a little paper and a few words from the heart.

Finn’s Thanksgiving Thank You Mission

Think of someone who has made your day a little better. It might be a family member, a friend, a teacher, a cafeteria worker, a bus driver, or someone who helps you feel safe and welcome.

Your mission is to let that person know you appreciate them. Use Finn’s free My Thankful Page activity sheet, or make your own thank you card.

Print your own My Thankful Page

Fill in what you’re thankful for, name someone who helps you, and write a little thank you message. There’s room to draw something you’re thankful for and color Finn and his turkey friend too.

Print on letter-size paper. A grown-up can help with writing, or you can share your answers with pictures.

Make your special delivery

  1. Print Finn’s My Thankful Page, or fold a plain piece of paper to make your own card. Add your colors and drawings.
  2. Finish this thought: “Thank you for…”
  3. Add one thing you remember about that person. Keep it simple and make it yours.
  4. Give them your finished page or card. A grown-up can help you deliver it or share a picture of it privately.

Need a place to start? Try “Thank you for reading with me,” “Thank you for helping me when something is hard,” or “Thank you for making me laugh.”

There’s more than one way to say it

You can write, draw, point, use your communication device, or tell a grown-up what you want your card to say. A scribbled heart can carry just as much love as a whole paragraph.

Grown-ups, take a turn too. Let the kids hear something you appreciate about them. “Thank you for being you” is a pretty good place to begin.

A little Thanksgiving wish

Holidays look different in every home. Whether yours is busy, quiet, full of visitors, or just a regular day, I hope there’s room for a little kindness and a good story.

I’m thankful for everyone who has made room for Finn’s adventures in their homes and classrooms. Every shared book, colored page, and kind message means something to me.

Happy Thanksgiving from me and Finn.

Cody
