Turkey Day Fun

Have you read this book?  

It is so funny.  My kids love the pictures, and the story.  I thought it would be fun to do a compare and contrast with it and A Turkey for Thanksgiving (also a favorite of mine).

This book is so cute.  It's a great book for kids to make predictions with too.  I like to read both stories, starting with The Great Turkey Race.   Then when I read A Turkey for Thanksgiving we stop when the turkey enters the Moose's home, and my kids make a prediction of what will happen to Turkey.

We share our predictions with each other, and then I finish the story.  They love the ending! :)

I love these two stories so much that I thought I would try a little compare/contrast activity with them.

 You can use the above for a whole group Venn diagram

 Or, if you would like, there's a student version as well. 

 Then, silly me....I tried to do a crafty thing again.  My daughter and I put this one together.  He's kinda cute.  It's Wing from The Great Turkey Race.  I am far from being a crafty person, but when I showed it to my kiddos they wanted to make it right away.  Now I have something to bribe them with! :)  YAY!

If you haven't had a chance to check out my Thanksgiving Pack, you're missing out.  The graphics in this set are soooooo cute!!!  My kids have been loving their centers the past two weeks.

I also made pilgrim activities last year to go with Sarah Morton and Samuel Eaton.

And, just in case you missed it before----how about a math fact freebie?  :)
