Tommy the Turkey and Phonics

My class loved reading the poem Tommy the Turkey! After we played a game called, "Tommy Tapple" to brainstorm as many words as we could that began with the letter /T/. I recorded the list on chart paper so the children could refer back to it for our "Tommy the Turkey" craft and later for journal writing. The students recorded words that began with the letter /T/ on each of "Tommy's" feathers. We had a blast!
