What Tips Do You Have For Spending Thanksgiving With Someone Else's Family?

Sure.

And this is a good way for you to learn how to act in these situations as there will be many in a lifetime.

Likely you will be quiet as you don't know any one. Just don't be a "silent Sally" all the time. Make every attempt to engage in conversations. They will likely make every attempt to make you feel at home and comfortable. Smile, do the small talk thing. Offer to help with anything. If told no need - then don't push it.

Have good manners. Be gracious. When leaving - be sure to thank your hostess.

It's always nice to bring a little hostess gift as well. Nothing big. A small bouquet of flowers from the supermarket. A small box of candy.

Follow up with a written thank you note next week.

This was awesome of teacher to invite you so I expect she is a very nice person and will do everything she can to make it pleasant for you.

Remember - new people and strangers are only that for a short time. Then they are people you know - even if only a little.

Enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving.

Pretend it is not a holiday. Just think of it as any old day that you get to have a great meal. Wear comfortable clothing and arrive with an appetite and some dessert would be nice.

Be cordial and be a good listener while still engaging in the conversation. No need to be nervous.

Just be yourself and try to find some common ground with your fellow diners.

your teacher sounds like good people--so she will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable--ask if you can bring something--that can be a conversation starter when people are eating it....when you get there ask what you can do to help--hopefully she will give you some kind of project that will keep you busy and give you something to chat about when you have a slow moment---ask people how they made things...(but be sincere) you can ask if there will be kids your age there--(that might make you feel better or worse..so decide how you feel before you ask!)

just remember they are people just like you!

Just act you're self. Don't try to be someone that you are not. Your teacher invited you, not someone else. Just simply be polite, and have fun.

Be nice to everyone and remember your manners.
