Turkey Day!

The theme of the day in first grade today was turkey day! We did many fun things with turkeys today. In Language Arts, we created word family turkeys. The students enjoyed coming up with words in the -ake, -ine, and -one families. 

We then read the book Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano. In this hilarious story, turkey tries to disguise himself from Farmer Jake. After reading it, we recalled all of the disguises Turkey tried and even created a disguise for him. 

Our finally turkey project was making a turkey using a coffee filter. The students colored the coffee filter and then I sprayed it with water causing the colors to bleed together. We then glued the turkey along with a Thanksgiving poem onto a sheet of construction paper. Here are pictures of the final product. 

Just to let you know that our day was not all turkey themed. We did learn how to count dimes in Math class. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is an early dismissal day. Dismissal time is 12:30.
