Turkey Trouble

One of the fun Kindergarten projects we did this fall was "disguising" a turkey. Grace's class read a book called "Turkey Trouble." I haven't actually read the book, but the general story line is that the turkey is trying to disguise himself so he doesn't get eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. They were then sent home a turkey to disguise and send back to school. After a bit of discussion on how to disguise our turkey we took inspiration from some left over clouds I had and chose a rainbow.

The finished project. We added a pink feather at the end of the rainbow for Faith since Grace didn't want her "color" to be left out.

The turkeys hung up outside Grace's classroom.
I noticed that several kids didn't have a turkey. After checking with Grace's teacher, Mrs. Pritchett, on my next volunteer Tuesday I brought my craft box and got to help these students dream up their own turkey disguises. It was SO fun. I am LOVING volunteering in Grace's class.

A "Sun."
A "Christmas Tree" and "Baby."
I was so impressed with all the creative ideas! I think we might have to purchase the book and do it again sometime. (Or maybe we will wait till when Faith goes to kindergarten don't want to spoil her fun....)
