We had so much fun highligting the books of Mo Willems during Literacy week in PreK. Each day we read a silly book together and engaged in extension activties. The children loved the pigeon books and everyone was able to participate.\r\nAfter reading the \"Don't let the Pigeon drive the Bus\", we pretended to drive around the class looking for specific letters and matching rhyming words. To extend the book \"The Pigeon wants a Hot Dog\", students choose their own hot dog toppings and added them to a classroom chart. \"The duckling wants a cookie\" was a classroom favorite! Each child cut out their cookie, decorated it and either dictated or wrote about what they would do with their cookie (share it, eat it, etc.). \r\nI was able to challenge my students by having them follow a step-by-step tutorial by Mo Willems himself, on how to draw their very own pigeon. They worked really hard on their drawings and were so proud! \r\nTo conclude the week exploring the pigeon books, students chose their favorite to read with a buddy and to take for their own home book collection.
