Thankful for Turkeys







We were doing the "turkey trot" at group time. We played a game, choosing "turkey feathers" that told us how to move.

Everyone loves to get a turn being the leader in the game.

Teachers helped to paint hands to make one traditional hand-print turkey, then our friends took off on their own.

We used colorful feathers to dress our plain brown turkeys. We chose where to place the eyes and beaks all by ourselves.

We sang a rhyming song about a Turkey and used the flannel board to move the items in the song.

Hearing those rhymes helps prepare us for reading in the future.
