2. Turkey in Disguise Writing and Craft Project
The Turkey in Disguise Project is a fun and engaging writing and craft activity. “Turkey in Disguise” was one of the very first resources I added to my Teacher Shop and has always been very popular. I created it for my own second grade classroom as a first year teacher and used it each November with every kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade class I taught. For that reason, the packet includes differentiated versions so it can be used in multiple grade levels and for differentiation within your own classroom. Over time, I have added different versions (Easter Bunny, Gingerbread Friend, Leprechaun, and more). Learn more below!
