I love how these books also cross over to lessons about speech bubbles!

We used one of our rubrics to assess writing conventions.

Crafts

We love directed drawings and Pigeon is a perfect character for this!  You will find the directions for this cutie in the May Guiding Readers (1st edition).

We also have a craft in the March Guiding Readers (2nd edition).

Snack Idea

How cute is this little snack idea?  This would make a fantastic “How-to” writing experience!  You can find directions for this snack HERE.

Center Ideas

I made this Pigeon addition math game for you (it’s free).  Students will roll the dice and cover the sum.  Scroll to the bottom of this post to download this freebie!

I know California does not need any more rain right now, but we sure do in Colorado.   I love this book!

Rain! by Linda Ashman tells the story from two different perspectives!   Here is a great video!

This book also works great with The Science of March!
