Turkey Facts!

To kick-off our week we read an informational text on turkeys and then students recalled facts that they learned! It was fun to see how interested and engaged they were to learn about these fun-feathered birds! Students were shocked to learn facts such as: only male turkeys make the "gobbling" sound and turkeys can fly up to 55 mph! My teammate found this fun turkey activity (pictured below) where students recorded on the feathers the most interesting facts they learned! Their fact turkeys turned out pretty cool! The remainder of the week we are going to read a series of fictional books on turkeys and students will get the opportunity to practice their retelling skills!

After reading about turkeys, students helped recall facts to record on our big turkey chart!

Each student wrote four facts they learned about turkeys.

Gobble...gobble! :)
