Remember the anticipation you felt as you made a wish and pulled as hard as you could on the turkey wishbone? There's a little bit of dreamer in all of us. Ask students to make a wish and explain why they would like this wish to come true. Challenge the class to think of non-material wishes... for their family, for the environment, or for the world. Have them write their wish and explanation inside the wishbone reproducible. Cut out the wishbone and glue them to a piece of construction paper. Display them on a bulletin board with the title "MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE." End product can be put in a Class Book or in Journal/Memory Book later. You may choose to post on your website also.Friday, October 30, 2009
