Will you let him stay up late? Or will you let him.

There’s nothing a teacher dreads more than being absent and having to prepare for a substitute teacher in preschool or kindergarten.

Substitute Woes

In addition to the preparations you have to make in advance for a substitute teacher, often while you’re sick, there’s always the fear that your students will go bonkers in your absence.

I’m sure this has never happened to you! When you’re absent, your little cherubs sit still and blink their wide, innocent eyes at the substitute teacher while patiently awaiting your return.

If you are in the minority like me and your students need a little reminder of how to behave in your absence I made a special PowerPoint template just for you.

Pigeon Class Book

I was inspired by my friend Karen of Prekinders; her recently released Pigeon packet hooked me on the popular Mo Willems books.

How to Make a Pigeon Class Book

This is how it works, just click on the picture at the top to download the PowerPoint and insert your students’ pictures in the empty boxes.

Then, click on the talk bubbles to change the text. I gave you just a few examples to get you started, but having the students actually come up with their own ideas for the text will be more meaningful.

Next, insert duplicate slides and change text and pictures to create as many pages of the book as you will need.

Games

You can show the PowerPoint to the class or you can print the slides, insert the pages in page protectors, and place them in a binder to create a class book that you can include in your classroom library and leave for your substitute.


We had so much fun with this activity and directed drawing today! We are learning about healthy habits right now. After reading a 'sleep well' passage from a nonfiction book, I read Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! We reviewed opinions and talked about how Pigeon was trying to convince us to let him stay up late. Students filled out a graphic organizer, with their opinion and 3 reasons, telling Pigeon why he shouldn't stay up late. The students then wrote a letter to Pigeon using the organizer. They were so creative and funny! Tomorrow I am going to have them write a letter to me, telling me why I shouldn't stay up late because they know how much I LOVE sleep! Those letters should be a hoot! Students will also be writing letters to a parent this week, trying to persuade the parent to let them have or do something.

Here's a picture of our science experiment left over from studying eggs before Easter. If you haven't tried egg geodes with your students, it is simple! Just add food coloring to hot water, add sea salt, stir and pour in a cleaned out egg shell. Very cool!
