Turkeys Turkeys EVERYWHERE but NOT a One to Eat!

While checking out the posts on Proteacher.net I came across a SUPER cool project called "The Naked Turkey".  For this project, my first graders took home a turkey and a talk bubble and disguised them and wrote why the turkey shouldn't be eaten for Thanksgiving.

Here are a few of their creations.

My name is Herky.  I have to go to the Iowa Football Game.  Please don't eat me!

I am a gymnast.  I am too flexible to be eaten.

My name is Sweetheart.  I am not a turkey, I'm a present!
