Favorite Thanksgiving Books & A Very Perky Turkey!

It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Some of my favorite Thanksgiving books to read with my class are: 

  
A Plump and Perky Turkey by Teresa Bateman


Arthur's Thanksgiving by Marc Brown


'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey


This is the Feast by Diane Z. Shore


Magic Tree House Non-Fiction Research Guide: Pilgrims 
by Mary Pope Osborne and Natalie Pope Boyce


Thanksgiving on Thursday by Mary Pope Osborne 

What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving books? 


We made this turkey last week. Each student cut out his/her own feather and could use any colors or patterns to design it. The students were a bit unsure of why we only had them decorate ONE feather. After putting up the bulletin board, they understood why each person only decorated one. Our turkey looked much better and had a lot more personality when we combined our creative efforts and worked together! 


Happy (almost) Thanksgiving!

Raining cats and dogs

Other phrases about:
Animals
Weather
Meaning

Raining very heavily.

Origin - the short version

No one knows the precise source of this 17th century expression, but we can be sure that it didn't originate because animals fell from the sky. The most probable source is the fact that dead animals and other debris were sometimes washed up in the streets after heavy rain.
