Handprint Pigeons

Seriously. I could GLUE my camera to my hand and STILL forget to take pictures in my classroom! I am so frustrated about this! We did a craft activity (the surprise one) and I forgot to take pictures of it!!!!! And I have 3 chances seeing as though I have THREE groups of kids. Ai yi yi!!

And I also forgot to take a picture of our displayed student work from this week. I will try and remember to do that this week, but seriously, I can't make any promises knowing my track record so far!

So, we wrapped up Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus this week and the kids just loved that book! I loved seeing them all want to pick it off the book shelf and read it by the end of the week. And they truly did remember the story! You must read this with your kids, it's great! :)

In the meantime, here we are making our Pigeon's with our handprints!

Adding feet with whatever color marker we choose. Pigeons can have purple, pink, and green feet right?

We gave our pigeons beaks, 1 eye, and a "neck" (the white rectangle). I was so impressed with my students. Not a single one of them tried to put more than 1 eye on their pigeon. Last year, I would have had 20 eyed pigeons! :)

I will post pictures of the "surprise" activity, which now that I've dragged it out, probably won't be that great! :)

For the next two weeks we are going to be doing colors. I've sent a letter home encouraging parents to send their student to school wearing something of the color we are doing that day. I REALLY hope they do, because that will make some our activities that much better! :)
