I'm Thankful For...

Using any type of lettering, create the title for you bulletin board. Next, you will need to create your turkey. This is very easy to do. First, find a piece of clip art of the computer, a worksheet, etc. (The size of them image does not matter, but you will want one that you can easily omit the feathers, or it is missing feathers already.) You will then make a copy of that image on an overhead transparency. Place the transparency on your overhead, tape a large piece of white butcher paper to the wall, and adjust the size of your turkey by moving the overhead projector. You can then trace the turkey onto the paper, outline with a black marker, and then color. Your turkey is then ready to be cut out and laminated! (One resource for great free clip art is the Discovery School Clip Art Gallery.)

Using large pieces of construction paper, cut the shape of your feathers. You will then each student finish the statement of: "I'm Thankful For..." You can have a parent volunteer script for the students if they are younger. For older students, you may want to have them write their response on a piece of paper and have it checked for spelling prior to writing on the feather.
