Happy Thanksgiving!

On Thanksgiving, we had some extra time in one of my Government classes, so we made hand turkeys. Remember these from kindergarten? You trace your hand on a piece of paper, the thumb becomes the head of the turkey, and the fingers the feathers. You add other features like a beak and feet. The students were unimpressed with my arts and crafts idea at first, but they soon got into the spirit of it. The first photo is the display of all the completed turkeys on the wall in their classroom.
