Episode Details

Superintendent:
Welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. Today we are talking turkey and giving. Thanks on this Thanksgiving Day episode. Fourth and fifth grade students at Hayden Peak Elementary school talk about what they're thankful for, from family and friends to teachers and talk. But first we head out to Fox Hollow Elementary where second grade students share their thoughts on preparing the perfect Thanksgiving meal, including cooking what could be the biggest turkey of all time. Tell me your name. What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Student:
Turkey.

Superintendent:
Turkey. How long does it take to cook a turkey? What do you think?

Student:
Maybe 10 minutes, 30 seconds.

Superintendent:
What if you only cook at 10 minutes and not the 30 seconds? What do you think with him?

Student:
It would maybe be raw.

Superintendent:
Yeah. I'm not a chef. I don't cook things. I eat a lot more than I cook, so I'm not really sure how to cook all this stuff. What other foods does your family have at Thanksgiving?

Student:
Mashed Potatoes.

Superintendent:
Mashed potatoes. I hope they have gravy. Sorry. Put the pressure on. Your whole class is watching to see what type of gravy you like.

Teacher:
I like the Brown. You like the white?

Superintendent:
Okay. All right. Let's talk gravy folks. That's a very comfortable topic for me. You like the Brown? Tell me your name and what's your favorite food of Thanksgiving?  Is it the turkey?

Student:
I like the turkey.

Superintendent:
Do you like the white meat or the dark meat?

Student:
Dark, dark meat. Brown gravy. What else do you like?

Student:
The mashed potatoes and the pumpkin.

Superintendent:
Potatoes. You feel like you eat more on Thanksgiving day than on other days? I do too. How long do you think it takes to cook a turkey?

Student:
30 seconds.

Superintendent:
30 seconds. Do you cook it in the microwave or the oven?

Student:
The oven.

Superintendent:
So 30 seconds in the oven. How hot do you think the oven needs to be?

Student:
Super hot.

Superintendent:
Super hot. Is that a setting on the oven or do you think you just turn it up pretty high?

Student:
Just think you turn it up super high. If it's glowing red inside and it's hard to get close to it, then it's hot enough.

Superintendent:
Yeah. Okay. Thanks. We're getting a lot of good advice here. I think listeners, you ought to try this advice because until you've tried it, how do you know? How do you know whether it works or not? Alright, let's talk with you over here at this table. Do you like Thanksgiving?

Student:
Yes.

Superintendent:
What do you like about Thanksgiving?

Student:
Probably spending time with my family.

Superintendent:
Do you watch sports at all?

Student:
Mm, my brother tell me that I have to.

Superintendent:
Oh, they tell you that you have to watch sports.

Student:
Yes.

Superintendent:
You don't necessarily want to. You don't like to watch sports either.

Student:
Nope. Not on Thanksgiving? Nope.

Superintendent:
Did they watch Thanksgiving sports at your house?

Student:
Yeah.

Superintendent:
What sport did they want?

Student:
Um, I forgot, but they do watch sports.
