The Turkey Police

        Update to "Turkeytime": I used this lesson in another class. The students think that there are Thanksgiving Turkey police. I'll attempt to explain... We were going through the Thanksgiving feast and the students were intrigued by the specific foods: mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, etc. One student raised his hand to stay that he didn't like turkey and could he please have chicken? (If only I could've made a feast for them.) I said yes, but that would be a bit odd because the food we eat at Thanksgiving is traditional, but, of course, each family has its own traditions. Another student simply answered, basically, "Duh, no. There are turkey police and you will not be allowed to have Thanksgiving if you have turkey." At least turkey offenders would have had fabulous last meal.
         It's snowing every couple of days now and it's beautiful! Bonneville's center is being renovated, so it's not picturesque at the moment. You'll have to ignore the construction site to appreciate the Alps!
