Brock Shirley from 2nd grade wrote a story called, “Don’t Eat Me.”
Dear Farmer,
Please don’t eat me, because I have tons of feathers so you will grow feathers and they will stay forever. So eat the pig.
Love the Turkey
P.S. At least I won’t die on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is supposed to be happy. Also I work out. Ew! I taste gross so yeah. Want some sweat? Farmer, please don’t eat me. I promise that the pig or chicken will taste better.
P.S. Those pigs make fun of you.
Sierra Webber, from the 5th grade wrote, “The Bull’s Horn.”
‘Twas the morning of Thanksgiving…The Bull would be the main course for Thanksgiving Dinner. The turkey ran far, far away, so they had to eat the bull. The farmer tossed and turned as he tried to catch the bull. Then he heard his wife call, ”Bring me the bull!” The farmer had one more idea. He brought a lasso out of the barn. It lassoed onto the bull’s horn and, Yank! It was clean off! Then magically, goodies, veggies and all the Thanksgiving treats spewed out of the bull’s horn. That is why there is a horn with goodies spewing out.
Thanksgiving Turkey By Brielle Shirley
There was a turkey. A farmer came to this turkey and said “This turkey looks good’’ the turkey was scared so he knew he would have to do something. He found some chalk and colored him pink and said, “Now I am a pig.’’ The next day the farmer came and said, “Hey, where’s my turkey?’’ He was mad, so mad that he went to a king and said, “Turkey is bad for you.” The king said, “We’ll eat chicken.’’ He said, “ That’s not a bad idea. ‘’ So he convinced the whole world that turkey is not Thanksgiving food.
The First Thanksgiving Written by Cohen Hansen.
It was the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a turkey. The children were dreaming of really good turkey and Thanksgiving Day. The parents were awake while the kids were asleep. And then the sun rose and everybody was exited for Thanksgiving.
They owned a farm with turkey so they got dinner from there on Thanksgiving Day. But in the farm there was a very smart turkey that could do anything. And he also knew it was Thanksgiving Day so he made an invention and made the farm people eat pizza!

Travis the turkey was still alive! And he said, “Anyone want a slice of turkey? Come on, what’s the matter?
