Turkey Unit for Big Kids

This turkey unit includes reading, writing, science, math, and art activities about turkeys in a mix of whole class lessons and learning centers. This unit focuses on turkeys and modern Thanksgiving traditions, but doesn't address the history of pilgrims or the first Thanksgiving.

I have included:
-Turkey mini book (nonfiction) in color and black/white versions
-Three learning charts for note-taking
-Three simple activities for learning centers
-Turkey words writing chart
-Comparing turkeys Venn diagram and writing paper
-Turkey body part poster and labeling worksheet
-Synonym and antonym coloring sheet with challenging words for dictionary or thesaurus practice
-Three poems with directions, examples, writing paper, and hallway display signs
-Thankful turkey writing activity with brainstorm coloring sheets
-Tricky turkey persuasive writing and point of view activity
-Cut and paste cardinal directions activity
-Thanksgiving spelling words to unscramble with themed ways to practice the words
-Math task cards for addition, subtraction, and multiplication (2, 5,7, 10)
-Turkey cookie recipe/edible craft
-List of extra books and websites I like to use
-Unit certificate
