This year we had a Thanksgiving presentation on Wednesday that included turkey stories, poems and more. Here is a poem that one of the students wrote and read:

Mashed Potatoes on Thanksgiving Day

By Tegan Sager

Thanksgiving comes, but once a year.

I can’t wait for potatoes to appear.

They come on a hot steaming plate.

It would be a shame if they were late.

They are marvelous to eat,

Not to salty, not to sweet.

I’d eat them with turkey,

But not beef jerky.

Eating potatoes make me feel perky.

I wish Thanksgiving came every day,

So with my mash potatoes I could play.

Don’t sit with someone in a bad mood,

Or they will make your potatoes taste like dog food.

Eating potatoes is really fun.

I can’t stop once I’ve began.

Students also sang alto and soprano parts for two Thanksgiving songs, played recorders and made treats for our Thanksgiving "feast" of cookies and various snacks.

The next day we were invited to celebrate at the Bennett's house. About 21 people were present and we all enjoyed a real Thanksgiving feast of turkey, potatoes, gravy, pie and more. Afterwards we had a fun gift exchange and some singing.
