生活就是一面镜子，你笑，它也笑；你哭，它也哭。你感谢生活，生活将赐予你灿烂的阳光；你不感谢，只知一味地怨天尤人，最终可能一无所有！——（英国）萨克
Life is a mirror. When you laugh, it laughs; when you cry, it also cries. You are grateful for life, and life will bestow you with bright sunshine; if you are not grateful, you only know that if you blindly complain about others, you may end up with nothing! -(UK) Sack
自古以来的教育，知礼仪懂感恩是中华民族的传统美德，让孩子从小学会感恩，懂得珍惜别人的爱！学会用自己力所能及的事情来感恩，并且学会表达爱、回报爱，从而将感恩的种子播撒在幼儿的心田。
Since ancient times, knowing etiquette and gratitude is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, so that very young children will be grateful and know how to cherish the love from others! By teaching them to use what they can do to express and reward love, the sense of gratitude will be felt by the children.
为了让孩子在生活中学会感恩，在蒙氏工作结束后，孩子们放下手中的工作，站在原地，跟着美语老师一起念感谢词“I am thankful for a wonderful day. Thank you teachers for teaching us. To be a kind and loving person.Thank you classmates for working with us. Help us to be sharing and friendly.Our work is done. We are proud of ourselves. We are looking forward to Montessori time tomorrow.”
In order to let the children learn to be grateful in life. Every day after Montessori's work time, the children put down their work, stand in place, and say the prayer under the guidance of the teacher: “I am thankful for a wonderful day. Thank you teachers for teaching us to be a kind and loving person. Thank you classmates for working with us. Help us to be sharing and friendly. Our work is done. We are proud of ourselves. We are looking forward to Montessori time tomorrow.”
在用餐前，孩子们围坐在饭桌前，一个个双手合十，齐齐地念“Dear chefs,Thank you so much for making us this delicious food. Nourish our body to be strong and healthy.Thank you teachers for guiding us. To wash our hands with soap and water.Thank you aunty for setting the table nice and clean. We are ready for lunch time.I will be quiet. I will finish my food. I will clean my table. May I eat now? Yes, you may.”然后才开始吃饭。
Before the meal, all the children with their hands clasped sit around the table and say the prayer together: “Dear chefs: Thank you so much for making us this delicious food. Nourish our body to be strong and healthy. Thank you teachers for guiding us to wash our hands with soap and water. Thank you aunty for setting the table nice and clean. We are ready for lunch time. I will be quiet. I will finish my food. I will clean my table. May I eat now? Yes, you may.” Then they are allowed to sit down and have their food.
每一句感谢词通过孩子们的表达，让孩子们潜移默化的学会表达爱，学会感恩。只有懂得感恩，孩子才会乐于助人。
Day by day, children will gradually learn to express love and to be grateful. Only when they know how to be grateful, they will be willing to help others.
