Turkey Glyph

Our Turkey Glyphs have replaced our Pumpkin Glyphs on our closet doors!  They are so cute I am sad they will only be up for a couple of weeks.
Glyphs are not just arts and crafts (even though they are really fun to make!)  They are a form of data interpretation.    When a glyph is finished, you should be able to "read" it to find out about the person who created it.  (If you came to Open House, you searched our Family Glyphs to find your family house by using the key!)

They Turkey Glyph key we used came from Shari Sloane (kidscount1234.com).  I just made the pieces and tweaked the key a little to better fit our classroom.
