So I had the pleasure of going to Minato Elementary School in Fukui City to observe a class. During the class the ALT showed some slides of thanksgiving, starting with a Cornucopia and asking the kids about the various fruits. Then he showed them a photo of a turkey and asked what kind of bird it was. Some kids shouted out 'chicken' in English or 'shichimencho' (turkey) in Japanese. Then he showed the kids a pumpkin pie and asked what it was. A few kids yelled out 'pie' not guessing the flavor, but then their brightest student, master of the English language, yelled out 'Turkey Cake' in English. God bless his little soul.
