I love my group of first grade students! I know that Thanksgiving has already passed for this year, but their turkey writing was too cute to not share with you. Such creative little minds! This was a writing lesson that I had the students do. After reading a story to the class about a freindly little turkey that did not want to be eaten for a Thanksgiving meal, I had the students pretend that they were turkeys and they had to write why I should not eat them for Thanksgiving dinner. Here are a few of their stories.....
Hi, my name is Zack. You should not eat me for Thanksgiving dinner because I am too sweet. You don't want to eat me. I will make you too wild and crazy. Your teeth will rot out. Do not ever eat a sweet turkey again! By: Katie
Hi, my name is Plump. You should not eat me for Thanksgiving dinner because I am too juicy. If you eat me the juice will make you messy. Then you will have to change your clothes. Eat fruit instead. Fruit is good for you and not messy. Please don't pick me again! By: Allen
Hi, my name is Alexa. You should not eat me for Thanksgiving dinner becasue I am too cute. Eat a snake or something else. Don't eat me because I am a little cute turkey. I will call the turkey police! I am the littlest turkey in the barn. So please don't eat me! The other turkeys would be sad. By: Elise
Hi, my name is Marisa. You should not eat me for Thanksgiving dinner because I cough and scream and yell. I will run away! I will chase you and peck you on the head. I will call the turkey police. I am also too small. I would not have enough meat on me. Please eat something else! By: Marisa
