Family Turkey Project

Dear Family,

We need your help! Attached to this letter you will find Tom Turkey. Help Tom make it safely past Thanksgiving by disguising him so the farmer cannot find him.  Turkeys that have made it through in the past have been dressed like ballerinas, football players, farmers, hula dancers, Elvis, etc. Think of something unique or special to your family and disguise Tom accordingly.

Please have fun and be creative! You may use anything you can think of to decorate.  You can find items around your home to attach to the turkey to disguise him as something else.  Don’t go to any expense.  Family 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 adds, ribbons, fabric scraps, etc.

Please follow these directions when disguising your turkey.

• Cut out the turkey.
• Decide how to disguise him and have fun.
• Use the attached paper and help your child write a persuasive argument for why the turkey should not be eaten.
• Return to school by Monday, November 16, 2015.

Thanks for your support!

Ms. Wentland
