Turkeys in Disguise

Dear 3rd Grade Families:

We need your help!  Yesterday, I sent home a letter along with a turkey and a piece of writing paper. Help this turkey make it safely past Thanksgiving this year by disguising him so that people will NOT eat him. 
Turkeys that have made it through in past years have been dressed like ballerinas, hula dancers, football players, Elvis, and much more!  Please have fun and BE CREATIVE!!
You may use anything you can think of to decorate your turkey. Turkeys in the past have been decorated with crayons, macaroni, craft feathers, tissue paper, dried beans, rice, clothes, and shoes cut from newspaper ads, ribbon, felt, tinfoil, etc.

Please follow these directions when disguising your turkey:

1. Cut out the turkey!
2. Decide how you will disguise your turkey and have fun!!
3. Write an 8-10 sentence paragraph on the attached paper (or typed on the computer) about how your turkey's disguise will convince someone to NOT cook him for Thanksgiving dinner.
4. Return to school by: November 16, 2012! However the faster you bring him back, the faster the rest of school will see them above your locker!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
