I really like poetry for developing fluency in a fun way! Kids just love talking about turkeys at Thanksgiving.
I am very thankful for my family and friends this year! Also, for having a job that impacts the lives of children in a positive way.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
-Melody Beattie
I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love and laughter!
I hope your Thanksgiving is a blessed one as well. I agree. Poems are fabulous fluency tools and fun too.

Love your gratitude quote! It's so true that being grateful changes your perspective on your situation. Your turkey poems are so cute! I am using a Thanksgiving poem this week to work on fluency also. Thank you for sharing yours so it can be used to!
