I read that line in a story this week "Ten Fat Turkeys" by Tony Johnston and it makes me smile :)
Thanksgiving in our classroom started with a bulletin board showing things we are thankful for.
Each student traced a buddy's hand 3 times on 3 different colors of construction paper. Then they cut out their 3 hand prints and wrote 1 thing on each hand that they are thankful for. Examples were family, friends, school, Ms. Anglin :), and food. Then the hands were stapled up to look like the tail of our turkey.
A fun project to display in the hallway was our scarecrows. We used a little paint, glue and straw to make these scarecrow heads come alive.

Our last Thanksgiving project was paper plate turkeys. These take more prep time than actual project time. I had all of the body pieces except the tails stapled together in advance. Then it was just a matter of painting.
Gobble Gobble!
