Thanksgiving Fun

A few weeks ago we started a Thanksgiving writing project after reading the book "Turkey Trouble" by Wendi J. Silvano.  In this book the turkey doesn't want to become the Thanksgiving meal so he dresses up in many different disguises to try to trick the farmers.  The students chose a way to disguise a turkey and wrote a letter to the farmer for reasons that the turkey should not be eaten.  They worked on writing specific details to go along with the disguise.  We put all this all together in a class book that the students love to read!  This project dates back several years now, and the class loves going back and reading these booklets of disguised turkeys from previous classes!

Today we played Turkey Bingo, and we had 1 winner!

Happy Thanksgiving 2nd grade families!
