turkey day, minus the turkey

I know it’s not quite Thanksgiving in America yet, but it is here so I’m going to kick off the festivities. I have work today, since it’s obviously not recognized as a Korean holiday so I’ve been making all of the kids do Thanksgiving activities and talk about what they’re thankful for. I pulled the standard hand-into-a-turkey routine, and they were SOO amazed. Every class (including teachers) started laughing once I added the beak and feet. And of course they came up with some great responses. These were some of my favorites.

“I am thankful for…”
