Description

This November bulletin-board set turns a hallway wall into a class gratitude project. Eight giant 'THANKFUL' letters spell out the theme, and each child makes a turkey — with a photo or without — and adds a piece of thankful writing. The set is built for PreK through 4th grade, with writing pages in two levels so the youngest children and the oldest can share the same board.

The turkey craft comes in two versions: a photo version, large and two per page, and a no-photo version with a face, also large and two per page, plus a thankful-sign turkey in two levels. Decoration pieces finish the display: 16 bottom-border pieces, 9 scalloped strips and 6 'THANKS' pennants, along with 6 subtitle strips and a family photo note printed two per page, with a no-photo option.

The writing is the heart of the set. 'If I Were a Turkey' and 'I Am Thankful' each come in two levels, so a kindergartner can draw and write a few words while a 4th grader writes a full piece. Teacher notes, a setup guide and a photo guide walk the teacher through putting the board up.

There is no answer key for this set, and none is needed — it is a display and craft set, not a worksheet packet. It fits a November hallway bulletin board, Thanksgiving door decor, a Kindergarten turkey craft using photos, thankful writing for 1st and 2nd grade, a classroom community board, a fall writing center display and a family open-house display.

Why it works

A bulletin board works when every child can see their own work on it, and this set is built for that: two levels of writing, a photo option and a no-photo option, and a turkey that looks the same whether a child is four or nine. The board becomes a record of the class, not just a decoration.
