　　每年11月份的第四个星期四是感恩节。虽然是西方国家的传统节日，但是和敬老爱幼等中华传统美德教育是一致的。心怀感恩、感恩教育是世界上每一个人都不可或缺的！“感恩教育”又称之为“爱的教育”，是一种情感教育，让我们的孩子常怀一颗感恩之心，继承和发扬我们中华民族的优良传统，让爱充满整个世界。

　　Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November.Although it is a traditional festival in western countries, it is consistent with the education of traditional Chinese virtues such as respecting the old and loving the young.Be grateful and gratitude education is indispensable to every person in the world!“Gratitude education” is also called“love education”, which is a kind of emotional education, and let our children always bear a grateful heart, inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of our Chinese nation. Let love fill the whole world.
