Dear Families,
Thanksgiving is
just around the corner and you know what that means…turkeys everywhere are
going into hiding. Yes, that’s
right! Turkeys will do just about anything to avoid being your Thanksgiving
meal. Help Tom Turkey survive this Thanksgiving by creating a disguise.
Attached you will
find a blank turkey template. Please
help this turkey make it safely past Thanksgiving by disguising him
through the holiday he fears the most! Turkeys that have made it through in the past have been dressed like
ballerinas, football players, farmers, hula dancers, Elvis, snowmen, Spiderman,
a princess, Santa, and even one of our second grade teachers, Mrs. Hoschouer!
Your main focus is to
dress your turkey in attire that will help him blend in with your family so he
will go unnoticed at the Thanksgiving table!
Please have fun and be
creative! You may use anything you can think of to decorate. Turkeys in the
past have been decorated with crayons, macaroni, craft feathers, tissue paper,
wallpaper scraps, dried beans, rice, clothes and shoes cut from newspaper ads,
ribbons, fabric scraps, etc.
Please follow these directions when
disguising your turkey:
1. Cut out the turkey
2. Decide how to disguise him
3. Have fun decorating
Below are examples from turkeys students did last year. I will post more tomorrow! You can also check out Mrs. Hoschouer's Website for more examples and ideas - or do a Google search for "Turkeys in Disguise." Turkeys are due no later
than Thursday, November 14, 2013.
Thanks and have fun!
Mrs. Zuniga
