Your child's homework this week will be to disguise Tom the Turkey so he doesn't get eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. We went over this in class on Monday afternoon. Students can use absolutely anything they can find around the house to decorate their turkey (dried pasta, cotton balls, construction paper, tissue paper, gemstones, fabric scraps, etc.) I only ask that the turkeys are not simply colored in as that does not disguise the turkey. In the past, kids have chosen to disguise their turkey as Superman, a princess, an army man, a peacock, a pirate, a monster, etc. Use your imagination and be creative!
Please disregard the part of the note that asks students to write a story about their turkey. This will be done in class on Thursday, November 20. On this day, your child will complete a persuasive writing prompt (Common Core Standard CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.21) convincing the reader why turkey should not be eaten for Thanksgiving dinner.
Have fun with this! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with to disguise their turkeys! Please have them turned in no later than Wednesday, November 19.
Thanks!
