You and your students have made a cool turkey. Is that made from grocery bags? How tall is it? Thanks for the nice comments about the site.

Thanks Cindy,
Yes its made from a grocery bag & a luch bag (for the head). It stands about a-foot-and-a-half. I was helping my husband who works with impoverished children in the Chicago city schools. One of the kids told him it will be the 1st turkey he ever had on Thanksgiving. Stories like that remind me how thankful I should be for what I have.

Hi Iwo! Yes thank you for sharing your students artwork. How old are they?

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do as a teacher. Today's world is much more complex and difficult than even 15 years ago and our kids and their teachers really take the brunt from that. I am and always have been a strong advocate for teachers and as far as I'm concerned you still are not paid enough!! I hope you can show more of your students artwork. I am just thrilled that you are sharing their creations!!

Hi Feather,
Thanks so much for your acknowledgment!
Yes, sadly in the US teaching does not get the respect it deserves
I work with children of all ages 6-18 years old.
