Poppins Book Nook #9: A Turkey for Thanksgiving

November 26, 2013 By: amyswandering2 Comments

It is time once again for Poppins Book Nook and this month’s theme is animals! Feel free to join in the fun with the linky at the end.

Of course the animal on my kiddos’ minds this month is the turkey. We moved far away from family this summer, and this is the first year that we have ever made an entire Thanksgiving meal. We compared weights and prices searching for the perfect bird. We calculated how long it needed to thaw, and then we hunted down a delicious brine recipe.

One of our favorite Thanksgiving books is A Turkey for Thanksgiving, a sweet story about a turkey who gets invited over for Thanksgiving dinner but is afraid of being the main course.

Because life has been busy this month, I decided to round up some great turkey activities instead of create one:

  • Turkey Talk: A Unit Study on the Science of Turkeys
  • Turkey Fun Mini Pack
  • Turkey Cutting Practice
  • Build a Turkey
  • Turkey Shape Count & Graph
  • Parts of a Turkey
  • Fingerprint Turkeys

These are some more of our favorite turkey books:

A Plump and Perky Turkey: The residents of Squawk Valley think they can outsmart the turkeys, but one proves to be too clever.

Amelia Bedelia Talks Turkey: You can just imagine the craziness that surrounds Amelia Bedelia when she helps with the Thanksgiving play.

This is the Turkey: A humorous tale told in the style of ‘This is the House That Jack Built”.

{1000th Post!} $250 Timberdoodle Giveaway

November 26, 2013 By: amyswanderingcomment

I am so excited that a huge giveaway to one of my favorite homeschool companies just happened to land on my 1000th post!! Yes, I have been blogging since the dark ages.

Are you familiar with Timberdoodle Co.? Theirs was one of the very first catalogs that I received when I started homechooling 12 years ago. In addition to great curriculum packages, they offer some really wonderful educational toys and games. Their gift guide has ideas for every age and price-range, and a $250 gift certificate would definitely knock some names off your Christmas gift list. Or you might use it to do a mid-year curriculum switcharoo if needed.

Our very own Bow of Bronze Launch Team has teamed up to bring you this very special giveaway to help celebrate the launch of Homeschool Encouragement.

Homeschool Encouragement Giveaway

This giveaway has not been sponsored by the Timberdoodle Co in any way – rather this lovely team of bloggers has come together and each contributed towards the prize. We are so pleased to have the support of our amazing readers, and this is one way we can bless you in return.
