Kindergarten Turkey Videos
Our LLCA Kindergarteners had an amazing time celebrating Thanksgiving with a creative, multi-step learning project! Students began by completing a festive turkey directed drawing, then brought their turkeys to life through writing—giving each one a special name and describing all the fun things their turkey loves to do.
The excitement didn’t stop there! Using ChatterPix Kids on our iPads, students recorded themselves reading their writing, making their turkeys “talk.”
This hands-on activity blended art, writing, reading, speaking, and technology into one delightful experience. We are so proud of our young learners and their creativity!
