Talking about Thanksgiving in Mrs. Paton's room

This week in Mrs. Paton's room we have been reading Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pikey. This is a story about students who take a field trip to a farm where they meet a farmer and his turkeys. The students decide to rescue the turkeys from becoming Thanksgiving dinner and have them come to their homes as guests for Thanksgiving. Your students have really enjoyed this story and discussing Thanksgiving. Discussions have included: being thankful and what we are thankful for, favorite Thanksgiving foods and more. 

Our craft for this unit is a paper plate turkey. See paper plate turkeys in progress below!

I hope you enjoyed this brief snapshot of what has been going on in Mrs. Paton's room so far this week! Stay tuned for pictures of our finished turkeys :-)
