Character Trait of the Month
There are five noteworthy characteristics of a good citizen:
1) Honesty: A good citizen is trustworthy and forthcoming about their actions and behavior and helps others be the same way.
2) Compassion: A good citizen is compassionate, which is how one feels when you genuinely care for other people and other living things (plants and animals).
3) Respect: A good citizen has respect for themselves as well as for others. They understand that you cannot respect others until you learn to respect yourself. They also respect the rights and opinions of others.
4) Responsibility: A good citizen learns to become accountable for their own actions and learns to respond wisely to issues that may rise. This means understanding when you do something wrong and taking the steps necessary to fix it.
5) Pride: A good citizen takes pride in their community and its accomplishments and seeks to help fix it if necessary.

LEGO TURKEY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. Align the two 3×3 ¼ circle plates. Over the seam, press the yellow 1×2 flat plate with knob and the brown or gold 2×2 flat plate with knob.
STEP 2. To create the tail feathers, add one 1×2 orange plate to each corner of the 3×3 ¼ circle bricks. On the next knob on each side, add the red 1×3 plates. Finally, over the 1×2 plate with the knob in the middle, add the 1×2 yellow plate.
STEP 3. For the body of the turkey, place the cross plate on the 2×3 brick with one end of the cross plate extending to become the base for the turkey neck. On the back of the cross plate, add the 1×1 brick with a knob. This will be the connection to the tail.
STEP 4. To create the turkey neck and face, stack the 1×2 45º roof tile on the extended portion of the cross plate with the angle sliding towards the tail.
On top of the roof tile knob, add the black (or brown) 1×1 brick with two knobs. Add an eye to each knob.
Snap the brown 1×2 brick with bow over the top of the black 1×1. Squeeze the two 1×1 plates together to form a cube and snap it under the bow. Attach the red nose cone under the cube to be the turkey’s waddle.
Attach the two yellow nose cones under the 2×3 brick as the turkey’s feet.
Enjoy your finished LEGO turkey!
