  1. The turkey poem is one of my favorite. Now I'll be singing it for hours. It's cute though and great Thanksgiving ideas.

    I love this activity, and would love to do it in my classroom. Do you have a pdf file of the turkey cutout that you could post?

    Thanks!

  4. I got the pattern from a many-years-old copy of Mailbox for Teachers... one of their Nov/Dec. issues... Since I'm no longer a subscriber, I can't log on to their site to see if they have a copy to download, nor check to see what their copyright policy is. Let me keep looking!
