Princess Turkey Disguise

Princess Turkey Disguise By DR

English Second Language, 1st year

The teacher sends home a project for my daughter: make a turkey disguise. But I no understand the word 'disguise'.

We make the turkey. We put wool on the body and cardboard for the feathers. We work for one week this project, so the turkey looks pretty. My husband says, "This turkey looks amazing so everybody will take the turkey and prepare it for Thanksgiving." But on Sunday afternoon my husband reads the paper and says, "Uh oh! This turkey need disguise for no eat!" I feeling frustration because I no understand the instructions very well. So my husband and I go to the dollar store because this is more close to my house, and buy things to help me make a turkey disguise. My husband and I pray together for no have stress and I pray God for creativity and enjoy this project with my daughter.

I put on the body a doll dress and glue pearls around the dress. I cut a headband with hair. My daughter makes a braid and puts a ribbon, and I put a crown. I cut snowflakes and I put on the dress. I put strong glue on the cardboard and cut tinsel for shiny. And later, my daughter helps me cover the feathers with tulle. We put eyes and make eyelashes and put orange on the beak and a red chile for the wattle.

When finished the project, the expression of my daughter and family says, "This is a beautiful princess turkey!" The expression of my daughter says glamorous princess turkey!

When my daughter takes the project to school, people have many compliments, and my daughter says, "Mommy, the teacher liked the princess turkey disguise!"
