Thanksgiving (belated)

      For English Corner around Thanksgiving Day, we made oreo turkeys with the students (you can see an example of the inspiration here ).  We did not have candy corn, but not having one thing has not stopped us from trying: finding a substitute is something that becomes a standard procedure when living in another country!  Instead, we used Pocky sticks, gum drops, something like malt balls, peanut butter to keep things together.  The students loved 'em, and they also loved the four pumpkin pies that Mary made- they devoured them (with chopsticks, of course!).  Then we read a book about Native Americans thanking Mother Earth.


    For the midterm, I had my second year students write a story about a turkey who pursues a goal and is successful or not (they decide), draw a picture, and then present their project to the class.  There were some very creative stories and drawings!
So many turkeys!! Gobble gobble gobble



Yikes, not sure what's going on here!!
