1.  This Turkey Needs Dressing!  In your Friday folder I sent home a turkey copied on card stock.  Cut out the Turkey, use scraps of cloth, paper, foil, glitter, and your imagination for a spiffy he or she.  Be sure to name him or her and then write a biography about your terrific turkey. Your dressed turkey, and turkey biography are due Friday, November 11th. Remember a biography is a a written account of another person's life, in this case, the life of your turkey.
