Thanksgiving in the library, 2012. TURKEYS!!

The 10th 6-day cycle was all about turkeys.


In PreK, we read The Best Thanksgiving Book and worked on a turkey coloring page.

In Kindergarten we read Dave Pilkey's  'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving and colored turkey pages.


The first grade made turkeys by coloring a circle (the feathers) and a head, neck, and legs.

 In the 2nd grade, we made pilgrim paper dolls.  It was a lot of fun and they turned out great.  Nobody wanted to leave theirs in the library for decorations - they all wanted to take theirs home with them.

Grades 3-5 worked together in groups of approximately 6 to make a "Mr. Potato Head Turkey."  As a group, they had to decide which "parts" they were going to use, what eyes, what hair, whether the turkey was a boy or a girl.  The story pit was covered in turkeys when we were done. Here's a picture of the story pit as the turkeys were being created:
