We read the book The Amazing Turkey Rescue, which is a fantastic book! My students really enjoyed the illustrations. We worked on a writing/art project to go with it.
My class does not start art until December so I really feel like we have to work that in sometimes- we are in Kindergarten! We did some guided turkey drawing (some came out better than others!) and then gave our turkeys a vacation just like in the beginning of the book so they wouldn't have to be Thanksgiving dinner. Take a look at some of our examples below! I think they turned out GREAT! We are really working on sounding out words! I like how they came up with so many places for the turkey to go! :)

Look at the outfit - can hardly tell its a turkey! |

Cheerleading |

basketball |
|
Here was my attempt - tanning/beach :) |

and of course - hockey! |
Here's another anchor chart that has been really helpful for us! We go over the title, characters, setting, author, and beginning, middle, end (retelling /comprehending) depending on the focus!
Anyway to make it cuter or does anyone have any better examples? I haven't seen one of these in awhile and I want to be able to use it with each book we do :)
