As Thanksgiving Day approaches, I want to share a very timely story that made my day. Our First Grade students were charged with the writing task of explaining how to cook a turkey. Not only did they focus on the cooking process itself, but they also learned about transition words and “juicy” descriptions. Enjoy and read closely as you might find some culinary tips to use on Thursday.
