Floating on the surface meaning of the word "thanksgiving", children often do not understand the spirit of Thanksgiving in depth - so watching movies is a good way. I have made a list of recommended thanksgiving movies for elementary school students based on the thanksgiving movies I have seen:
1, "When Happiness Knocks"
A movie about a father's love, about perseverance, and about dreams. A single father lives with his young son. The father encounters a series of blows at work and in life, but his young son always gives him the greatest encouragement, and after a series of setbacks, they finally realize their dreams and live a happy life.
The first time I watched this movie I was really moved by the father in the play, in the play in this situation can be so selfless treatment of their own only father, no matter how many difficulties encountered, the father is their own strong backing. All the difficulties, as long as you have confidence, you will certainly overcome and succeed.
2, "Beautiful Mother"
The movie is about a mother who gave birth to a child named Zheng Da, but the child is deaf, Zheng Da's mother in order to let Zheng Da go to school, spent a year to work around the money. The movie is about a mother's love for her child, and how she can make the child understand what a mother's love really is, and realize that a mother's love is a great love.
I was touched by the mom in the drama when I first watched it, and tears blurred my eyes again and again. What a great mother, mother's love, so that the mother's whole body radiates a beautiful light, and this may be the "beautiful" of the "beautiful mother".
I think: my mother is not also a "beautiful mother"? She cared for me wholeheartedly, loved me and educated me. Mother, I started school new bag, it is you for me to take; my flower umbrella in the rain is you for me to support; my aggrieved tears, it is you for my sassafras; I lie in the hospital bed, it is you for me to shed tears; I got good grades, it is you for me to be happy.
3, "Miracle Boy"
Born with a facial defect, Auggie, a young boy, grew up being taught at home by his mother, and when he was in the fifth grade, he finally had the opportunity to enter a regular school. When he first enters the school, Auggie is teased and bullied by his classmates because of his looks, but with the help of his father, mother, sister, teachers, and close friends, he eventually finds self-confidence and changes other people's perceptions with his actions .
I was lucky enough to see this movie, and I can't get over the fact that in this family of four, Auggie, a boy with a facial disability who is finally accepted by everyone around him, his sister Via, who is understanding and courageous, his mother, who is full of wisdom, and his father, who is lovely and responsible, are all accepted by everyone around him. So much so, that even after the movie, a warm and cozy feeling spreads beyond the end of the movie, as if a ray of sunshine suddenly comes out of the rainy sky and pours onto the wet ground.
This movie y touched my heart, and made me understand how to face all kinds of difficulties in life and study, and how to meet the challenges of the future with a good attitude and a firm belief.
4, "Arctic Legend"
Based on the documentary of the same name, the movie tells the story of the polar bears' journey in the ice kingdom and the legendary stories they experienced. The movie shows the unreserved love of the "parents" for their children, and also teaches children about the environmental crisis.
The film follows the development of polar bear Nanu and walrus Seala from adolescence to adulthood and motherhood in the third person, showing the audience a peaceful and beautiful Arctic world, and taking away the summer heat by encapsulating the coolness of the Arctic with the lens, and at the same time, further adding global warming and environmental protection into the movie, which is entertaining and educational. It is a classic movie that should not be missed by young and old alike.
5, "The sun is shining"
In 1959, Wilton Preparatory Academy was revered by the zhi people of the time for its staid style. There, the pattern of education was fixed, not only monotonous but constricting to the mind. Yet all that changed at the hands of a new teacher.
John Keating's anti-traditional approach to education brought a touch of life to the college: in his classroom he encouraged students to stand on their desks and look at the world around them with a fresh perspective; he introduced students to thoughtful poetry; and his philosophy of free-divergent thinking created a tremendous response among students.
There are roughly six lessons Mr. Keating teaches in the movie, telling them about seizing the precious time in life, the value of poetry in one's life, looking at life from a different perspective, facing up to one's inner desires, speaking one's heart out loud, and the dangers of conformity. These lessons were not just for the students in the play, but we can also learn a lot from them and realize from them that teachers are selfless and love their students.
6. The Summer of Jeans
Four young sisters, born at the end of the summer in the same year, have grown up as close as sisters. In the summer of their sixteenth year, the four sisters face separation for the first time, each spending a summer without the other. Unexpectedly, they found a pair of jeans, body size is very different from the four sisters wear actually fit. Thus, the magical jeans become a token of friendship, accompanying them on their respective journeys. The jeans carry friendship and courage between them, accompanying them as they learn to love and grow up.
The play had to be watched to marvel at the firmness of the friendship, the friendship between friends is just to play together and share the fun. Rather, they love each other, treat each other sincerely, and hold each other. Even if they are different sides of the world as long as there is a little contact friendship will not be broken, cherish a good friendship, can make you benefit a lot.
7. The Story of Barking Dog

Every day, Hachikō takes the professor to the station in the morning and waits for him to return home in the evening. Unfortunately, the professor died of an illness and never returned to the station, but Hachikō continued to wait at the station every day for nine years until he finally died.
Many children always think that small animals are just their playmates, and they don't know how to cherish them, and they don't even have any feelings for them. But you can let him know how to cherish small animals through this movie. The love of small animals to you is selfless and unique, don't hurt them and learn to give love to each other.
