Turkey Paintings


Follow on Bloglovin

We had a nice long uninterrupted afternoon one day last week, so I broke out the paint. Yippee! The kids had a blast. 

I found these directions on Pinterest. Instead of drawing our turkeys, we painted them. We used a sponge brush for the turkey body and q-tips for everything else. 


 My example

Here are a few student paintings. They all turned out so different and so cute!

We still have two more school days before we get out for Thanksgiving Break. I decided I would let them write about what they would do if they had their own turkey. 
Would they keep it as a pet? Would they cook it? I think it will be fun to hear what they have to say. 


I {think} you can click on the picture to snag them from Google Docs. If not, I need more practice working with Google Drive! :)


I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Gobble! Gooble!

Brrr, Thanksgiving Unit, and a freebie

It is cold here in little 'ol Alabama. At least it is to me. I feel like I could go into hibernation mode. I don't mind cool weather, but when it goes below 60 degrees, I don't even want to walk out the door. I'd never survive in Alaska! I decided I'd cuddle with my cozy blanket, a cup of coffee, and my computer. I went ahead and finished my Thanksgiving Unit and made a little creative writing freebie from the unit.
