Turkey Homework

Due Monday Nov. 9

Use the turkey pattern and disguise your turkey so that he\she will
not be eaten for Thanksgiving. Some ideas you may use are: a
sheep (cotton balls), a blue bird (blue feathers), a person (clothes
and eye glasses), etc. Be creative, use your imagination and have
lots of fun. Do more than just color your pattern. Anything goes,
just keep the face open so we can see that it's still a turkey. You
may want to glue the turkey onto a piece of cardboard if it gets to
heavy.

Thanks for helping your child with this project
