Thank You Notes

Many classrooms use traditional thank you notes to show appreciation
for the Discovery Trail site they have visited or to the Discovery Trail itself!  
Writing a thank you letter requires the sender to reflect upon their day and to consider why they are thankful. They may think about what made their day special and what happened to make their day a little more enjoyable.
