Oh Snap! It's Almost November!
It feels like it October just started, but when you look at the calendar, November is right around the corner so it's time to start planning.
I'm linking up today with the bloggers over at Teacher Deals and Dollar Steals for their fabulous monthly linky party. I don't know about you, but I absolutely LOVE that blog. It's a great place to get deals on some wonderful products.
Thinking ahead to November, here is one of my favorite bulletin boards. It's my TURKEY GLYPH.
If you don't know what a glyph is, it's a pictorial way to collect and organize data
Kids answer questions and based upon those answers they build a turkey. The turkeys come out really cute and they make a beautiful bulletin board. We like to decorate the front office with ours. All the parents who come into the office get a chuckle from the signs the turkeys are holding.
The Turkey Glyph contains:
directions and black line masters for making the turkeys, a glyph key, a glyph book, a poem, a literacy center idea, a data collection sheet, and photos of completed turkeys.

I also have a fun Turkey Tail Patterning activity.
In this activity, kids use pattern blocks to make a circular pattern around the turkey tail. Then they glue the turkey body on top and add the beak, eyes and legs. This also looks great on the wall and covers so many skills. Kids have a lot of practice making patterns in a straight line, but can they transfer that knowledge to a circular shape? You will be surprised at how this simple activity really stretches their thinking.
Aren't these cute?
Grab them now and get ready for November.
