In class today I had the children pretend they were a turkey during the Thanksgiving season. I asked them to write their potential buyers a note to try and avoid being eaten. The following are my all time favorites (thus far--I still have about 1/3 of my students still working on them). Please remember they are only 6/7 years old. I am copying their exact works so hopefully you can read them--we are trying in first grade!!!
