Great for INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS. Give the students the factoids and have them do one or more of the extension activities.


November is Thanksgiving time and most of us will be celebrating with a turkey dinner. Did you know that the Native American Indians were raising turkey as far back as 1000 A.D.? Did you know that the Aztecs, of Mexico, were raising turkeys even earlier, about 200 B.C.? Did you know that the state of Minnesota raises more turkeys each year than any other state? An estimated 44 million were raised in 2013! Share these fun factoids on the turkey with family and friends!
