How fabulously adorable is this Thanksgiving project and bulletin board design from Rachelle at What the Teacher Wants?! We think it's definitely a fun way to start off the holiday festivities, provide your kiddos writing/sequencing practice, and {as Rachelle points out} have a few giggles along the way!
How To Cook A Turkey
Begin by having your kiddos write out {or dictate} the steps they would take to prepare/cook a Thanksgiving turkey. Rachelle offers lots of great question suggestions that will help your students think their way through the process - how much turkey would you need, what temperature does the oven need to be set at, etc. Type up their responses and display them on fun Thanksgiving themed paper.
