The Month That Gets Short-Changed and a Craft

Poor November.  It always gets the shaft.  I'm always all hyped up for Halloween, and then it comes and goes and leaves me tired, with no energy for November.  My energy is back by December, which is good because there are birthdays and holidays to prepare for.  But surely November deserves a little attention!

To help me get in the November spirit, my students and I worked on a craft today.  It's an oldie-but-goodie:  handprint and footprint turkeys.

It's simple, really.  Trace your shoe onto brown paper and cut.  That's the turkey's body.  Trace your hands on colored paper and cut out.  That's the turkey's feathers.

See?  They really do get it.  :)

Happy November!
