Thanksgiving Poem

There are many different traditions for Thanksgiving. One of the most well known is eating turkey! Some families are vegetarians though,so they won't have Turkey. Some families will have another type of meat for Thanksgiving all together. Preschoolers need to be taught that it’s ok to be different and that there is no one way you have to celebrate Thanksgiving. This preschool poem is a super way to start off your Thanksgiving holiday!

Thanksgiving Poem

Gobble gobble gobble,
Cluck cluck cluck,
Thanksgiving I eat turkey,
But some like roast duck.

Some even eat,
Only corn and some rice,
Some are vegetarian,
And that still is nice.

You can celebrate,
Any way that you please.
Just save me some dessert,
Be it cake or candy!
