This week we are reading a lot of books by author and illustrator Mo Willems. We will be talking about the characters in the books and the themes of the stories! Get ready for pigeon, piggie and Gerald the elephant, along with some others!

Our KDI for the week is reading- Children read for pleasure and information. We will be reading mostly for pleasure this week, we will contrast that with books that we read for information, which can also be reading for pleasure, depending on your interest!

Small Group Activities- In our small groups this week we will make elephant and piggie popsicle stick puppets, follow directions to draw a pigeon, add a Don't Let the Pigeon... to our journal and explore our favorite Mo Willems books.

Large Group Activities- We will be playing with some elephant and piggie inflatables outside and moving like the pigeon with our pigeon action dice!
