Let's Draw the Pigeon

Go ahead and google, "let's draw the pigeon"...or just click here.  What will you find?  Step by step directions on how to draw the Mo Willems' Pigeon!  Pretty cool, huh?

After reading, "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" we drew the Pigeon, step by step, as a class.  Class #2, pick a different Pigeon book and ask for "wisdom" from your students.  (here is the blog post about wisdom)  I usually talk about wisdom as being advice, like you might get from an adult in your life.

Pigeon + Wisdom = instant cuteness.  Here are a couple of examples...

           
                                            

"Pigeon Wisdom" from little ones...

Recently, in the younger grades, we have read some of Mo Willem's Pigeon books.

 

My favorite part of these books are their interactive nature.  That, and the fact that they are hilarious and make kids laugh!  Along with these books, we talk about "wisdom" or advice that they might get from parents or teachers.   I'm going to share some of the wisdom from my Pre-K and Kindergarten classes...which I have dubbed, "Pigeon Wisdom"

~ "Don’t let me go into a pile of dirt."

~ "Don’t let horses poop on you."

~ "Don’t let the squirrels come in your house and get in the trash         

can."

~"Don't turn yourself into a dog."

Tune in soon to see the final product...hand drawn pigeons along with their "Pigeon Wisdom."  You want to miss them!!!
