Tell A Pigeon Story!

In our "Play- Learn- Read" early literacy center, we have a magnetic/flannel board that we switch out every month. It is something the littlest library patrons seem to rush to every time they come into the children's room. I thought it was only fitting to do a Mo Willems- Pigeon flannel this month since we are holding a Pigeon Party for our "1,000 Books Before Kindergarten" families.

Since the Pigeon stories by Mo Willems are so popular, I decided to make the main characters and a few props.

 

There is a non-circulating copy of "The Pigeon wants a Hot Dog" next to the flannel board, but I expect it to disappear at some point. Just in case it does, I made some story starters for parents and children to use.

 Also, we try to include a quick early literacy tip/motivation with each of our activities.

It's always fun to overhear kids telling their very own Pigeon story!
