Turkeys in Disguise
 
I post about my Turkeys in Disguise project every year, but it's one of my favorites!  I read students the book "Turkey Trouble" by Wendi Silvano and then send students home with a blank turkey to disguise - so it won't get eaten for Thanksgiving dinner!  It is sent home as a family project and I get some really fun and creative turkeys back!  Below are a few from this year (Ok, the first one is my daughter's - she's in second grade this year at my school!
