But, I had pumpkin pie waiting for me from one of my student's mom.
Tuesday, I made cornbread for my kiddos and did last minute costumes for Thanksgiving. Stressful last minute preparations, tweaking of the play (that I wrote), directing kids to do this and that, carrying a crap ton of stuff to the school from my apartment. Today flew by!
I am realizing that I am celebrating their first Thanksgivings (and probably the last Thanksgivings they will ever celebrate). It's so special for me to share my culture with these kids. I love them!!!!!
They loved the costumes, and we took lots of videos and the students were snapchatting selfies with Pilgrim/Indian garb. SOOOO CUTE!
Funny things kids say about thanksgiving:
Me; We eat turkey with stuffing. Does anyone know what stuffing is? (shows picture of a turkey with stuffing)
Kid: OOOOH I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW!
Me: And?
Kid: It's cous cous!
Me: That is a very creative answer!
Me: The first Thanksgiving was different. People ate a lot of quail. Do you know what quail is?
Kids: (shake heads no)
Me: Draws picture on board.
Kids: Ohhhh it's like a penguin!?
