Turkey Tuesday!
November 14, 2017
One of my favorite things is all of the turkey fun that happens during the days before Thanksgiving.
They remind me of the turkeys that are around in the Texas Hill Country during Thanksgiving, where I often celebrated Thanksgiving growing up.
Above is a #throwback turkey activity that I put on my classroom door my first year that I taught. The students thought about something they were thankful for and wrote it on a feather.
My 2nd or 3rd year teaching, a sweet student of mine introduced me to Albuquerque Turkey (the book). Everyone in the classroom fell in love with the song and we've been singing it in room 111 all turkey season long!
We also had some fun hearing and sharing our own Turkey themed jokes throughout the day.

Here are some fun Turkey projects we did this year...
The first graders made text-to-text connections.
We did these ADORABLE turkey directed drawings!
Side notes: I was super bummed when something fell on the artwork right in the middle of the turkey body :/

Finally, one of my favorite activities that my first graders make are these turkey place mats. They turn out so great each year. In the past, I've always used painted handprints but think these are super cute & less messy too!
