If you need help figuring out how to prepare your Thanksgiving turkey this week, do not worry; these first graders have you covered.
Students from Jessica Dennis and James Kelsey’s first grade classrooms at Berkeley Elementary recently penned some step-by-step instructions on how they would cook a turkey if they were put in charge of Thanksgiving preparations.
The good news is most of their instructions sound pretty quick and easy; oven times may vary and are mostly measured in minutes. Also, salt is a staple, apparently.
Check out some of the answers the students came up with below.
