So, this is a little late, as we have been done with the Pigeon in over a week. Sorry about that! We had our Spring Open House this week--so it's been quite a whirlwind! Quick pic--last year, I just had heads of the kids at each seat. This year I had them trace each other to have sitting at the seats! I took their pics with my camera and printed it out. They were quite adorable, and not to mention--that night they were the quietest I have EVER heard them! ;) ha!
This picture also reminds me---I've joined the Instagram Craze! Come follow me here: http://instagram.com/rulintheroost#
Now, back to the Pigeon. Once last thing that we did that I just had to share. After reading Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog, naturally, we measured with hot dogs! (fake ones of course) Since first grade math CCSS is measuring with non-standard units---it was a perfect fit! I had them work in pairs. They were SOOOO good! (and I might add-we did this on the day of the FULL MOON! I was sweating it, thinking about how it could have gone....) I heard lots of giggles and teamwork.
I even had a few girls come up to me when they were done asking if there was anything else they could measure! SO cute!
This activity is included in my Pigeon Finds a Packet on TPT and TN.
