Turkey in the barnyard, what does he say? Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble all day. Turkey on the table, what do I say? Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy all day. Turkey in my tummy, what do I say? I ate too much on Thanksgiving Day!
Since we are all educators or aspiring educators I felt this poem was the most appropriate. It teaches the concept of counting while proving a nice poem about Thanksgiving.
Five Little Turkeys
Author: Unknown
5 little turkeys standing by door, One waddled off, and then there were 4. 4 little turkeys under a treee, One waddled off , and then there were 3. 3 little turkeys with nothing to do, One waddled off, and then there were 2. 2 little turkeys in the noon day sun, One waddled off, and then there was 1. One little turkey better run away, For soon will come Thanksgiving day.
Linda Smith Autumn is my favorite time of year-got married in the fall, love football games in my favorite sweatshirt, and love to get back to the children at school!
In autumn when the trees are brown The little leaves come tumbling down They do not make the slightest sound But lie so quietly on the ground Until the wind comes puffing by And blows them off towards the sky.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
Fall poem by John Muir
I think a teacher could easily add actions to this poem to make it more memorable and engaging. This poem reminds me why I love fall so much.

The Pilgrims Came
by Annette Wynne
The Pilgrims came across the sea,
And never thought of you and me;
And yet it's very strange the way
We think of them Thanksgiving day.
We tell their story, old and true
Of how they sailed across the blue,
And found a new land to be free
And built their homes quite near the sea.
Every child knows well the tale
Of how they bravely turned the sail
And journeyed many a day and night,
To worship God as they thought right.
November Comes
November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.

TURKEY IN THE BARNYARD
Turkey in the barnyard, what does he say?
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble all day.
Turkey on the table, what do I say?
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy all day.
Turkey in my tummy, what do I say?
I ate too much on Thanksgiving Day!

Amanda- I like your Turkey In the Barnyard poem. Very cute and oh, so painfully true.
Gregg- There are so many variations to this fingerplay song. I like the adaptation for Thanksgiving.
