Don't Let The Pigeon........

Last week I read four of Mo Willems Pigeon books to my students. They absolutely fell in love with the pigeon character!  Mo Willems is an author that writes with a lot of expression which is a perfect for teaching my students about the 3 types of punctuations.  My first graders have been practicing writing statements, exclamations, and questions.  Each of my kiddos had to write one example of each type of sentence (some of them even choose exclamation sentences from the text....YEAH!) and then they got to make their very own pigeon.  We sure had fun reading, writing, and sharing our ideas with he class.
