Rockin' Kindergarten for over 30 years!

Thankful Turkeys Combine Art and Writing

Somehow the weeks have flown by once more and with the fall chill firmly in the air it’s turkey time again!  This week we bring you a fun and easy activity from the wonderful classroom of kindergarten teacher Karen Anderson.  Her thankful turkey idea combines a chance to brainstorm the many things we have to be thankful for and write one on each “feather”.  We think the toilet paper roll “body” with its googly eyes adds an adorable touch!


We hope you’re finding lots of great ways to celebrate and many reasons to be thankful this year!  If you’re looking for more Thanksgiving ideas to count you down to some much deserved time off, check out these related posts:
