T:	Today is Wednesday!  We will be busy making our soup.  We will all get to help chop, pour, and stir our soup together.  We will cook it all day, so it will be ready to eat tomorrow!  It will feel like a mini Thanksgiving in Room 103 today and tomorrow.  We’ve been talking about Thanksgiving.  Yesterday we talked about what we were thankful for.  Tell me more about what you do on Thanksgiving.

T:	Wherever you go for Thanksgiving, it takes a lot of work to prepare all of the food!  There may be food that you haven’t seen before, or food that you have never tried.  What happens if there is something on the table or on your plate that you don’t like?
Quinn:	Say “no thank you.”
Caroline:	You say “no thank you, I don’t want that.”
Troy:	I don’t like turkey or pears or mashed potatoes or corn or anything!
Troy:	If my mom cooked corn, I would say “No thank you.  I don’t want any corn.”
Andie:	I would say “No thank you.  I don’t like that.”
Camille:	If your dad was cooking something and he put it on your plate, I would say “Daddy I don’t like that.”  He would say “Okay, just leave it on your plate and don’t eat it.”
Griffin:	I love corn, and if my dad was making frozen Reese’s in the fridge, I would say “I want it please.”
Gwen:	I would try the food.  If I don’t like it, just leave it on your plate.
