Don't Let the Pigeon Break the Rules!

It all began with a book. A book about a bus. A book about a bus, with a pigeon who wanted to be the driver! A pigeon?!? Drive?!?

Mo Willem's Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus had us all howling with laughter! This spirited pigeon pulls out every excuse in the book to try and convince us, the readers, to let him drive the bus while the driver is away. Do you think he got to drive that bus? 

We loved this book so much that we wanted to be able to share it, so here is a goofy YouTube version of the story to enjoy at home:

We all took part in a guided drawing lesson to learn how to draw Mo Willem's pigeon:

Then the children were challenged to think of a school rule they didn't want their pigeon to break, we added in a speech bubble, and ta da!

The students are now doodling adorable pigeons everywhere, not to mention devouring other books featuring the pigeon!

Fingers crossed, the pigeon follows all of our school rules! Stop by our hall to see our pigeon masterpieces!
