Always Leave Them Wanting "Mo"!

The Pigeon has a lot of fans at Ashaway School!

My kindergarteners have been having a blast listening to the books of author/illustrator Mo Willems.  Every single title that I've shared with them has been a hit, and if you haven't gotten a chance to see them yourself I strongly suggest you visit the local public library as soon as you can! 

We finished this unit up with a bang by visiting part of Mo Willems' website, The Pigeon Presents.  Click on the yellow bubble in the top left corner and you'll find the games that we played (first on the SmartBoard as a class and then individually at the computers).  That's all we had time to do this week, so I encourage you to explore the rest of the site with your child.  There are funny descriptions of other Mo Willems characters, videos, and information about...buses.  (Why buses?  Because the Pigeon absolutely loves buses.  Just don't let him drive one!)  Plus there's even more fun to be found at Mo's own website, too.  Enjoy!
