Turkey Theme for the November Bulletin Boards
We will count turkeys by ones, tens, and fives. We will look for adjectives that describe turkeys. We will learn about the foods that wild turkeys eat. Sing songs about turkeys and learn to spell lots of turkey related words.
Waddle on over to the bulletin board. It's time to create the Turkey Themed Bulletin Board for November...

Cover Your Bulletin Boards in Burlap
Burlap Makes a nice Background for Your Turkey Bulletin Board Habitat
Burlap makes a wonderful background for the Turkey Themed Bulletin Board. The natural texture is appealing and mimics the brown tones of woods and fields of late autumn. Turkeys live on the edge of the forest near open fields. The brush at the edge of the forest provides them with shelter from predators while the open fields contain seeds and grains left over from the autumn harvest.
Odds and Evens on the Edge of the Forest
The Turkeys are Skip Counting by 2's
Make a border of trees around the edge of your bulletin board. These trees represent the edge of the forest where the turkeys find shelter from predators.
I like to make every other tree tall and then write numbers on each of the trees. This helps children when counting by twos.
If you attach the trees with push pins or Velcro, children can remove them and then replace them in order when practicing counting even or odd numbers.
If you use pine trees for the tall ones you may be able to recycle them for your December Bulletin Board. Bushes would work well for the short trees.
Describe a Turkey
Turkey Adjectives Expand your Children's Vocabulary
Bulletin Boards can be used to post new words to expand your children's vocabulary. By writing the words in large print and attaching them with push pins or Velcro the children can take their turkey words to their desks to help them spell during Writing Workshop.
Turkey Adjectives
Turkey Adjectives on the Bulletin Board
Separate and laminate each of the pages from this turkey notepad. Use a dry erase marker to write words that describe turkeys as you run across them throughout the month.
Attach the Adjective Turkeys to the bulletin board using push pins or Velcro. Children can remove one at a time during Writing Workshop to help them spell these new vocabulary words.
Here are more activities to do with adjectives:
November Calendar
Math Pattern Calendar for November Bulletin Board
Center your bulletin board on a calendar that helps to teach math. This ABAB pattern helps children learn odds and evens, shows visually just how long it is until Thanksgiving and gives children a visual sense of what day of the week it is.
I chose a turkey, corn, turkey, corn pattern because turkeys are often seen in our Vermont fields eating the corn that has been left after the farmer has harvested his field.
We use the calendar as the focus of our bulletin board and is the first activity we do when gathering for Circle Time.
A Calendar of Turkey Patterns
Turkey Patterns for the November Bulletin Board Calendar
Turkeys eat lots of grains and seeds such as corn so we are going to make a calendar pattern using turkeys and corn. The ABB pattern would have one turkey followed by two corn cobs. If you can't find corn you can make them using yellow and green construction paper or by reproducing coloring pages of corn and asking the children to color them for you.
I chose not to have the children write the numbers on the corn and turkeys themselves because I wanted them to discover the pattern as we added a piece for each day of the month.

Turkey Time Pointers
Pointers for the Turkey Bulletin Board and Calendar
Stick a turkey pencil topper on the end of a dowel to create a Turkey Themed Pointer for your November calendar time.
The role of the Calendar Helper is a coveted job in my classroom. The Calendar Helper gets to hold the pointer to help the group follow along as we count the numbers on the calendar, read words on poems and songs that we are singing or finding adjectives written on turkeys along the edge of the Bulletin Board Forest.
