It's Turkey Time!

Today was my last day with my students before Thanksgiving (teachers have PD tomorrow).  We did lots of turkey activities!  We used Lisa's Thanksgiving How to Writing {free!} and their answers were so funny!

How to Make a Turkey:

First, you buy a nice looking turkey and bring it home.

First, shoot the turkey.  Next, stab the turkey.  Last, eat the turkey.

I teach in a very rural area, can you tell??

How to Bake a Pumpkin Pie:

First, you get the pie at the bakery and when you get home, you can eat it cold or warm.

That's definitely how I make my pies!

And I wrote a Thanksgiving book!

My resource teacher was struggling with teaching her students the concept of retelling a story simply because she didn't have enough time to read a full book and then discuss the parts of the story.  So I said that I would write one!

I wrote a very basic story that includes characters, a setting, problem, solution and 3 main events.  It's called Tom the Turkey's Great Idea.  I had so much fun writing it!  The kids got a kick out of the fact that their teacher wrote it too.

I ended up writing two Thanksgiving stories!  

You can check them out in my store:

Be on the lookout for some winter holiday ones!!
