Turkey Day Extra credit!

Hi

It’s almost turkey day! Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all the wonderful things in our life and our world. Sometime the bad seems to outweigh the good but we know this is not the case. We have so much to be thanksful for! So many great things are happening around us. We just have to take the time to charish those things! This is a fun extra credit opportunity and I hope that you take advantage of it. It’s a way to relieve stress and take a mental break! It’s also a wonderful way to spend some quality time with your family! You may recieve up to 10 extra credit points! Up to 7 points for decorating your turkey in a creative manner and including a different thing that you are thankful for on each feather and 3 more points if you decorate your turkey in a creative manner with the assistance of your parent(s), guardian(s) or siblings and you bring in a signed note stating that your parent(s), guardian(s) or sibiling(s) enjoyed working with you on this project. This will be due no later than Monday Nov. 23rd for all classes. If you don’t have me on Monday you must see me before school or during lunch to turn it in. You will have the option of sharing your turkey with the class. I will display all turkeys in our classroom.

Please follow the instructions below and be as creative as possible!

1. Print out the turkey template2. Cut cut out the turkey3. Glue the turkey together on the tabs4. Decide how you will disguise your turkey.

Be fun and creative. Remember that your turkey should reflect you. Ideas: design your turkey to reflect your hobbies, interest, career aspirations, goals or what you are thankful for. Use objects such as cloth, bean, pasta, pictures , magazine clipping, feathers etc. to represent you. Examples: If your pratice ballet you could make a ballerina turkey. If you love to play basketball you could make a basket ball turkey. If Micheal Jackson or Elvis is your favorite artist of all time, you could make a MJ or Elvis turkey. It is all up to you. JUST BE CREATIVE. SIMPLY COLORING YOUR TURKEY IS NOT ENOUGH TO RECEIVE POINTS.

5. You must have atleast 6 things that you are thankful for written on the turkey’s feathers. Those items must all be different. Simply writing the word everything will n ot suffice! I know that you have lots to be thankful for!

Contrary to what you may be thinking…this is all about psychology! Stress, health, emotions, social psych, positive psych….

Remember the due date. No Exceptions.

Have fun!
