Kindergarten's Version of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

My favorite author to share with Kindergarten is Mo Willems.  We read lots of his books and explore his websites,  Pigeon Presents and Go Mo.  Besides hearing favorites like The Pigeon Wants a Puppy, Elephant and Piggie and That is Not a Good Idea, students also get to hear from Mo himself from his many video clips.  We also read Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed and learned all about those strange little animals, naked mole rats.



 We love all of Mo's books, but the favorite character is always the Pigeon.  We wanted to honor the Pigeon with our own version of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.  We also wanted the kidergartners to do some digital writing.   During their writer's workshop, students filled in this sentence: Don't let the ________ drive the _____________.







We then used one of their favorite online tools, Kerpoof, to illustrate their page.  Using FlipSnack Edu, I put all of their pages together to create an online book for each class.  Take a look and enjoy!
