After seeing the cute disguised turkeys on other blogs, I finally gave it a try. To get the students thinking of ideas, I read
Piggie Pie by Margie Palatini and
T'was the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey. Then I sent a letter home explaining that the students wanted to save
Tom Turkey from being eaten for Thanksgiving.

I had so many favorites for different reasons. The most resourceful non-turkey was made from things found in the yard; gravels, leaves, and seeds.

The most original non-turkey was Sponge Bob. I don't care for Sponge Bob, and the students know this. Leave it to my students turn a turkey into an irritating sea sponge. LOL!

The cutest non-turkey was Santa Turkey.

I think one of my students was still in the spirit of Veterans Day. The most patriotic non-turkey was a soldier. We had just finished our Veterans Day unit and participated in our annual Veterans Day Parade.

Finally, my all-time favorite was the Carolina Tarheel non-turkey. I don't know how they did it, but it looks like a Carolina napkin was folded into a jersey to fit
Tom perfectly. All Tom needs now are the Carolina pom-poms that decorate our ActivBoard.
