Feeling Like a Turkey~ Thanksgiving Bulletin Board Freebie

True Stories

• In high school, I walked around all day with a hot roller in my hair and no one said a word. 
• Something totally embarrassing fell out of my purse in plain view of people who should not have seen it!
• As a new driver, I hit a police officer on his way to work. 
• I forgot where I parked at the mall and had to have security drive me around to find my car.
• Someone had to do the Heimlich maneuver on me when I choked at a fancy wedding.

I’d have to say that last one tops the cake!

Yes, there are so many times I definitely felt like a turkey!

This was the writing prompt given to students for this cute project idea shared by my teamies! We enlarged a turkey graphic, added a title, copied it on tan paper and added some writing pages behind it to create a flip book. 

The kids loved posing for a picture in a goofy turkey hat. We glued the photos to the front. 

If you don’t own a turkey hat, you could make one like this for a photo prop:

Here’s what one student had to say inside her booklet:

I feel like a turkey when I go sharpen my pencil and plop, I drop it in the trash!

(I hate when that happens because then I have to reach my arm in the can and fish it out!)

I do that too! 🙂

Oh my!

My personal favorite, and one that I hear often throughout the day,

I feel like a turkey when I call my teacher, mom!
