A teacher's guide to accompany the student "All By Myself?" lesson. 

Enduring Understandings of the activity:

  • Personal success can lead people to give all of the credit to themselves and to forget that others (God, parents, teachers, etc) helped them in their achievements.
  • Saying 100 blessings a day reminds us of God's role in our lives.
  • The holiday of Thanksgiving gives those who celebrate the opportunity to express their gratitude to God and/or others in their lives.
