Turkey in Disguise

Turkey In Disguise

Dear Fourth Grade Family:

We need your help! Attached to this letter you will find 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 past year have been dressed like ballerinas, hula dancers, football players, Elvis, and much more! Please have FUN and BE CREATIVE!! If you are having troubles thinking of an idea you can google “Turkey in Disguise” and come up with many options.

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.    Glue the turkey together on the tabs.

3.    Decide how you will disguise your turkey and have fun!!!

4.    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

5.    Return to school by: November 10, 2014 or as soon as you finish! The faster you bring them in the faster the rest of the school will see them above your locker!! Can’t wait to see them! J
