Gus decided he needs to head south just as the geese do. Gus isn’t able to fly South. He has to walk.On his journey south he goes through Mexico and continues all the way to the tip of Chile. When he arrives in Chile, he stows away on boat that will take him further south.
When he is found he jumps ship and ends up with penguins. Guess what the penguins announce he is just like the pilgrims. He was looking for a new land that would give him freedom.
What did we do to explore Gus, the Pilgrim Turkey?
Gus Walking Finger Puppet
Then we added feathers, a center circle and a head with beak to the puppet to finish it up. A few black marker dots gave the turkey eyes. Then he was ready to run.
Fantastic Fun and Learning created a wonderful soldier craft after reading the book Hero Dad.

I love the finger puppet and I love the handprint turkeys. Makes me want to make them with my kids!
I think the turkeys with the math facts are GENIUS!! What a fun way to group them (and tie them in with your book!) I am going to do something like this with my daughter who is learning her multiplication facts. She’s a visual learner and seeing it put together that way would really help her! THANKS! –Lisa
Your turkey feathers fact family idea is a really cute holiday themed math activity. Kind of an art combined with math project! Love it.
I LOVE the hand and feet to do math!!!!!

What a fun book! One of the things I love about working in a lower grade again is getting to use more picture books! We are working on How to Disguise a Turkey this week. The students disguised their turkeys for homework last week and will write instructions to go with on MOnday and Tuesday.
