Happy Thanksgiving!

Before we left for break, we read a Scholastic News about how wild turkeys are coming into towns/cities because their forests are being cut down.  The vocab words "tom," "hen," and "poult" were in the news.  The kids learned that a "tom" is a male turkey, "hen" is a female turkey, and "poult" is a baby turkey.  One of my students really enjoyed this article, because he made a family of turkeys to decorate our classroom.  He was able to tell me which was the tom, hen, and poult.  I loved that he was so excited about what he learned, that he went home and made his own turkeys! :)
