Think of an invention that you are incredibly grateful for (a dishwasher, a chair, a tv, toilet paper, blankets, lip gloss, footballs, elevators, etc...) and write a letter to the inventor thanking him or her and telling him or her how grateful you are. You may want to compare your life now to what it was like before the invention. Don't worry that you don't know who actually invented the item. Simply make up a name and write a letter of gratitude.
Example:
Dear John Maytag,
Thank you so much for all of your hardwork in creating the dishwasher. I absolutely love it! I am so pleased that I can put all of my dirty dishes into a tank, add some detergent, and within an hour have clean dishes with no effort on my part. You see, when I was growing up, my sister and I had dish nights. It worked out alright, despite the fact that we couldn't play or watch tv until the dishes were done. The unfortunate thing is that my sister was a terrible dish washer. So, she usually left food debris on the dishes and then my parents made me re-wash them. Although I no longer live at home with my parents and sister, I still have quite a few dishes because I like to cook. Now, I just load, add detergent and go. Thanks for saving me at least 30 minutes per day! You are the best!
Gratefully yours,
Miss Miller

Dear Bob Serta,
Thank you for creating the bed. It is a big help because this way my back does not ache when I sleep. It is also very comfortable when you are tired. The blankets keep me nice and warm when I am asleep. When I need to think about some I lie on my bed. I love to read books on my bed at night too. It helps me sleep. It is a great help. If it weren’t for beds I don’t know where I would sleep at night. It is a great invention and I wanted to share my thanks with you.
Sincerely yours’

FIST COMMENT O YEAH :)
Dear May Filbone-
Thank you so much for inventing the Nintendo DS. I got one about 2 years ago, AND I LOVE IT!!!!! I use it every day. Mine is a pink coral one. How did you come up with the idea to make one? IT WAS A GENIUS IDEA!!!!! I like how you play so much more games on it. You can play Gameboy Advance games on it as well as DS games.And it's fun to do Picto-Chat too. I'm just so thankful that you evented that. I LOVE THE NINTENDO DS. Fun blog Ms. Miller!!:)
Dear Captain Hanson Crockett Gregory,
Thank you so much for creating my favorite food in the "hole" wide world... DOUGHNUTS!!! Doughnuts are wonderful they can be cream or jelly filled, have sprinkles, powdered sugar or icing on them. There is so much to choose from! my favorite is the chocolate long Jon with jimmies...YUMMM! I mean without doughnuts so many businesses wouldn't be there like Dunkin Doughnuts! If you never had a doughnut in your life... then you haven’t tasted heaven! So Captain Gregory thank you for DOUGHNUTS!
Sincerely,
COLLIN
Dear Sam Sung,
Thank you so much for inventing the computer. Without it I don’t know what I would do for fun. I need the computer to make videos, pictures, and more. If we didn’t have any computers, we wouldn’t have any internet, and if we didn’t have internet, we wouldn’t have any games or help with homework. Plus, the computer makes reports look so much nicer instead of sloppy and hand written. I also like your latest invention - the laptop. A portable computer can be so useful in high school and college. As you can see, I don’t know what I would do without a computer. Thank you again Sam.
God’s Blessings,
Margaret
Dear guy who wrote Star Wars, (or who made the video version)
All I have to say is awesome and were did you get that weird idea for all the monster animals? Star Wars is by far the best movies ever! MY favorite episode is three revenge of the sith, although I hate to see Anakin change it to the merciless Darth Vader, Sith lord, the story line is awesome and how you got Anakin to move to the dark side is awesome as well. My second favorite episode is five were the famous words are, “Luke, I am your father." It's a weird ending that leaves watchers at the end of there seats and DYING to see number six (or at least that’s what it did to me). All in all it's great and it's something you can sit back relax and watch, just waiting for the future to be like that.
Star Wars biggest fan,
Claire
Dear Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman,
Thank you for making the Nike shoe. I would have to say your guys’ invention of Nike and Nike shoes are amazing because I wear something Nike at least every day. I love the Nike dri-fit and Nike fit hats. They are great. I like the Nike shirts and shorts that you make.....so thank you Phil Knight. But I love the Nike shoes, they may just be the best shoes ever because they are so comfortable and good looking, so thank you Bill Bowerman. If I did not have Nike clothing and shoes it would ruin my life because I love Nike a lot. I wore Nike stuff when I was little so I have been wearing it for a while. With Nike things it makes me feel fresh and new every time.
I wear it. I love the commercials they always are cool you guys and your employees make the best commercials by far with the people in it, the music, and the setting. I love Nike. Just do it.
From your customer,

Dear Sir Bill Benjamin Hewwitt,
Thank you so much for creating Black Rhino saddles. I know how much time it takes to make saddles that actually fit the horses correctly and sit on their fourteenth vertebrae. It has helped me so much with my hotblood, and my training of him. It's also very comfortable for me, and has saved me a many an injury. They're sturdy, easy to clean, and give you a good workout just to put them on. Speaking of which, I've got some advice for you, if you'd like it. You might want to try and reduce the weight a little bit, because I really have to apply muscle to get my saddle on Tongo. It's not easy to get a sixty pound saddle over eighty inches in the air, especially if the horse is a butthead, and refuses to stand still.
Your grateful customer, LINA
Dear Creator of the Calculator,
Thank you so much for inventing the calculator!!! With out it, it would probably take me hours to do my math home work (well at least the assignments we can use it on!).
I am really bad at math so it helps me a lot!! It also helps those people that do taxes. The calculator is a great invention, it makes math quicker, easier and it doesn’t make my head hurt. It isn’t my favorite invention but, it sure does make life a whole lot better! So it looks like all your hard work of making it paid off.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Rutkowski
Dear Oscar Meyer thank you for inventing the bologna I dont care if you didnt invent it I just love BOLOGNA.............................................................................JUST KIDDING!........
Dear, Guy who invented Xbox Playstation and Nintendo.
Thank you for inventing these game systems and games because without them I don't know what I would in the mornings on weekends when know one else is awake, or on weeknights when I'm bored because my brother is hogging the cable T.V or being to annoying to read. I dont know how I would get through those times without video games. I'm not addicted, Okay sometimes i get addicted but there one of my favorite Inventions ever. So thank you microsoft and Playstation and Nintendo.

Dear Dell (or the creator of dell),
Thank you for the great computers that you sell, with the Hidh def and a new faster system in this.Thanks for this system of futurelized thinger mo bob.But still I love the new way to download different stuff onto my ipod,burn cds and cool stuff like that.So this is what I would say.But I was going to do playstation or the calculator but of course they were takin.Well this is my blog for the week.
Dear Creator of the Camera,
Thank you so much for inventing the camera! I love all the different kinds and designs on cameras now-a-days (especially the mini digital cameras!). Without cameras, people couldn’t take pictures and have special memories without remembering everything they did that was special. If you wanted to tell people in later generations of your family of things you did, things might get messed up (like “Telephone”) and you could paint a better picture in your head, looking at a picture, than if someone was just telling you. So, I think the camera is a great invention, so you can keep your memories forever. :-)
Sincerely,
Lauren Tauchen
Dear Ice Cream Inventor,
If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have anything to go with pie, and no good dessert after our dinner. I love ice cream because it has many good flavors and a yummy taste. I like the Mint Chocolate-Chip the best! Keep thinking up new and good flavors of ice cream, 'cause ice cream is a favorite amoung all.
Sincerely,
an ice cream lover, Hannah
P.S. Inventor of Ice Cream,
I love all the kinds of ice cream that you make. I would also like all the recipes for the homemade ice cream. I also like the really creamy ice cream! How do you make it like that? It's so good!
Thank you for your great invention of yummy, creamy ice cream!
Sicerely,
Hannah
Well, one of my favorite inventions is the toilet. Although I have no idea who made it I'll just say this:
Dear Mr. Toiletteer,
This invention helps me and many other pumas, wait! NOW IM CONFUSSLED!!!...............................................................................................................................
Ok, I got it now, humans, not elephants, humans. Wait but I said PUMAS!!! cows WAIT! do not say another animal name or else. SHEEP!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I just think that toilets are cool, and that I HOPE everybody has one. Although Im not so sure about squirrels...
Thats not even my topic.
Dear Mr. Cheese-Person-Man/Woman,
I love cheese, and toilets! Since I only need three more words this should cover it so bye. And if Luke is stalking me right now I’ll scare him really bad tomorrow.
Dear Creater of the Camera,
I just wanted to thank you for inventing the camera. If the camera wasn't invented we wouldn't have pictures of Ancient times. Now that would be bad because we wouldn't be able to study them as well as we can. The camera also lets us keep memories of the people who have passed away. If we didn't have these pictures of these people they might not seem as special. The camera lets us have pictures of our family and friends that are still alive. The camera is a very useful instrument. I am so glad you invented it.

I'm taking my time to thank you
for creatively using your mind
inventing something I can do
I think you are too kind
Dear Juggling Jane,
Thank you for inventing juggling. It must have taken a lot of hard work. Juggling is really fun and it takes a lot of effort to succeed in it but It teaches people patience and hand-eye coordination. I just want to say thanks again.
Sincerely,
Dani
P.s. Could you send me an idea of what to juggle because I've already succeeded at hula hoops, rings, basketballs, tennis balls, tennis balls against that wall, basketballs against the wall, etc. I need a challenge!!!
Thank you,
Dani :~)
Dear Mr. Hershey,
I love your chocolate bar. How would somebody think to put random stuff in a pot and heat it up? Well it turned out amazing. Thank gosh that Miss Miller has them on review games. They have an amazing taste.
THESE ARE SEPARATE
NEW LETTER
Dear Mr. Reeses,
I thank you also, how would you think to make peanut butter and chocolate taste so good together? Forget about that. It just so cool how you and Mr. Hershey can just do stuff and make some off the world’s best treats. It must stink to be a diabetic type A. I hope you could eat your own invention.

Dear Mr. Arctic Cat thanks for all of your hard work to create the complex Arctic Cat snowmobiles they are so fun to ride on and are very fun to go fast on.

NEW SPECIAL THANKS

Dear inventor of the world,
Thank you for inventing the world so we have so where to live. Thank you for inventing me and every thing in the world. I wish that every one would give you praise for the wonderful thing you have done for all of us. If you would not have created the world there would not be any people who would have invented anything we use now. With out you we would not be able to survive or go to a school were we can learn about you and all the wonderful stuff that you have do for people.
Love,
Brianna Fullington

Dear inventor of the computer,
Thank you so much for inventing the computer I would be so bored and possibly die if I didn’t have it. My computer keeps me entertained constantly. My computer lets me do lots of things like listen to music, play games, watch videos, talk to my friends, keeps me out of trouble and helps me do my homework(like writing my blog). In my opinion the computer is the best invention in the whole entire world (yes even better than pie). Not everybody notices it but the computer is one of most useful inventions in the world.
Sincerely Corey
WE dont have to go to school tommorow!
Dear guy or girl who made a toilet
Thank you for making a toilet. Without a toilet the world would smell. You spare a lot of people for dying of toxic poisons………….at least I think. Because of you we can properly dispose our waste without smell filling the Earth. TOILETS ARE AMAZING!
Dear creator of the English language
You are cool. You make life a lot easier because you make it able to communicate with other people. You make life so much easier because we need to talk to tell other people stuff. Plus then I can say random things. Without you, things that speak English would be in mass destruction. I don’t know why they will be in mass destruction be I am sure if there wasn’t the English language there would be a good reason for mass destruction. Thank you
From a person, if you give me a few minutes I can think of my name
Dear Mr. Sniffles,
Thank you for inventing Kleenex tissues. If I had to go without tissues I would have to use a piece of cloth or fabric. This would really stink because then you would have to blow your nose on something that has already been blown on before which would be really gross. This would also stink because then you would have to wash it and that would take extra time and money for soap. If you had only one then if you lost it you would not have anything to blow your nose in and if you only had one you could not wash it and it would literally “stink” and be crunchy (ewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!). This is why I am thankful for you making Kleenex tissues.
Dear jimmy jim jim

Dear makers of all video games known to man,
Yea this is Sam in the house so eat it. I thank the following people. Bill Gates for making the server of Microsoft to power the XBOX and XBOX 360, the mystery person that created Nintendo that power all the game boys, gamecubes even though I do not have one, but for the people who do have one, and for the Wii, but I did injure myself once or twice and the first time really hurt, but I’m fine now. I also thank the people, thing, or person who created SONY which powers the PS2 which I have, the PSP and everything else. Most importantly I thank God for everything including the PENGUIN. Only if it could talk, but it can’t. SO SAD
This is Andy. Thank you Lord for numbers!! Without them there would be no math and I have to confess, I sort of like math. Numbers are the everyday item that everybody uses. Lets List the things that are bad about no Numbers:
1. We would run out of gas because everybody would overload their cars.
2. No jobs or anything to do with math.
3. There would be no building anything because everything uses math.
4. There would be no measuring cups because it uses numbers.
5. There would be no amounts of anything for once again it uses numbers.
As you can see, almost everything involves numbers! That’s why I like numbers.
P.S. You wouldn’t even know how old you were!!!
Dear person who invented the computer, With out this invention mostly the whole world would be in a bust. I personally could not be doing this blog right at this very second. With out the computer our school would not have a computer lab/computerclass. You are a human GENIUSS the computer can baiscally tell you anything, you can play fun games on it you can even play music on the computer. With out the computer most buisnesses would go out of buissnes. The computer also led to many other inventions like robots calculators videogames and the ipod. That is why the computer is so impotant to our world.
Dear Bob Riplee,
Thankyou for creating the phone. If you haven't invented the phone we would never be able to call Friends and family That live far away. The phone is the thing that gets people together and have parties. The phone is also for emergencys. If you didn't invent the phone the police wouldn't be able to help as much as they do now. The phone lets us reach the hospital if something were to happen. Thank you So much for thinking of this. Bob Riplee thanks again for your invention.

And most defenitly the search and rescue mechines Helicopters,fire trucks,boats,police cars,and planes to help out all the people that need there help getting rescued.
Dear person who created the TV,
Tank you for creating the TV we would not be able to watch any of are favorite show we couldn't even watch are favorite football or baseball games. And now we can watch cartoons more because of the tv but are parents think that the tv is one of the worst things for kid but i think it is one of the best invention ever, if there wasn't a tv there would't be bid screen tv which are the best to watch sports like football or baseball. And that is why i think the tv is the best invention ever know to man and women
Thank you
I really like boat. With it I can go fishing and swim in deeper water. I dont like it when the water freezes up. Then I can't go for boat rides. You can go outdoors and feel fresh air on your face.
