On this Thanksgiving holiday, I find myself thankful for my family, my friends, and my health. I am also incredibly thankful for my job, coworkers and the wonderful children I get to experience Nature with each and every day.
Last week, we learned all about turkeys! Here are some amazing turkey facts for your Thanksgiving dinner.
- Turkeys can fly as high as 80 feet in the air, and as fast as 50 miles per hour.
- Turkeys have no feathers on their heads.
- The color of a turkey's head changes as it's mood changes. A calm turkey will have a white head, while an excited or agitated turkey's head will be shades of blue and red.
- A male turkey is called a Tom, and a female turkey is a Hen. Their babies are called poults.
Together, we made a turkey for the Nature classroom. Each child created a feather to place on the turkey with something they were thankful for.
