What Was Your Best Gift?

Our school gave a writing assignment the other day to all students. They were to write about their best gift ever. It was interesting to read the responses of the children. Some stories were long and flowery. You got the message and more. Others were short, but full of real emotion. Several students wrote about a gift received, but further elaborated that having their family with them was the best thing or it was what made their gifts even more special. That is amazing that children know what is the most important thing about giving and receiving gifts--being with family.
