Artsy Fartsy Turkey Story

I have a few classes ahead of the rest due to some of my recent abscences, so I decided to make some fun turkey projects with my younger grades today. I always like to introduce the lesson with a book. My librarian, who is the best by the way... happened to hook me up with this story called A Plump and Perky Turkey.
This isn't your typical Thanksgiving story! In this book the towns people are searching for a turkey for their Thanksgiving meal when there aren't any turkey's to be found, they come up with a very creative plan! They host an art contest, a turkey art contest and hang posters in search for a turkey model! I won't tell you how it ends, but it is super cute!

Wicked awesome New Eric Carle book!

This morning my school's wonderful librarian brought me a copy of Carle's brand new book "The Artist who Painted A Blue Horse." It was so sweet of her! Piper is not just a fabulous school librarian but a great friend. Check out that book! It rocks!
