I love this picture book! It was actually gifted to me by my kindergarten mentor teacher. I think this is a very important story for children coming to school for the first time and how it is totally normal experience to feel anxious. But there is so much more to be excited about!

Mo Willems and his pigeon again don‘t disappoint. Any one who loves the pigeon books will love this book. I love how the pigeon has a ton of the “normal” fears and anxieties about going to school. This would make a great read aloud.

A pretty relatable photo during these trying pandemic times!!! Listed as a New York Times Best Seller, The Pigeon HAS to go to School! Written and illustrated by Mo Willems tells a humorous story of first day of school jitters we‘ve all experienced once or twice! I would use this fictional picture book to teach my students about how fears are relatable and can be overcome!

ValeriaCastaneda23 I would use this book in a RA setting. I‘ve linked Mo Willems‘ website that has many fun and exciting resources! http://www.mowillems.com
UDL strategy develop self-assessment and reflection and EL Link lesson topic to students prior knowledge #UCFLAE3414SP20 4y

DrSpalding I agree! Your image says it all. Using his amazing website is a smart idea. His books are meant to be read aloud and also make good storytelling options. Nice alignment. 4y

The Pigeon HAS to go to School (F) by Mo Willems is about a Pigeon who really doesn‘t want to go to school. I think children will relate to this book and find it enjoyable to read. I would have a child who likes to present give a DR to the class. The UDL guideline I would use is 2.4 (have it printed in other languages that were used in my classroom) and the ESOL strategy I would use is number 20.

maciforster I love the read aloud of the author reading the book! The topic also seems like something the students would love. 4y

DrSpalding How fun to do a dramatic reenactment! Super resource showing the author reading the book. This could be a literacy station in your class! 4y

The Pigeon HAS to Go to School is a nonfiction (NF) book written and illustrated by Mo Willems. There‘s no awards for this book but I think it‘s such a cute children‘s book. It‘s about a pigeon who has so many fears about going to school but when he gets there, everyone is different in their own way. I thought it was so cute because when you first start school you have so many jitters and you‘re nervous, but in the end it‘s all going to be okay.

alexblanco I would use the RA teaching strategy because it would be difficult for kids to read by themselves due to all of all speech bubbles in different areas on the page. A standard I would use for this book would be “with prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear.” https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/5732. #ucflae3414f19 5y

alexblanco One EL strategy I would use would be to reinforce the key ideas I present again and again. I chose this because it is easy for EL‘s to get lost and not understand what‘s happening in books so if I reiterate it, it‘ll help keep them on track. A UDL strategy I would use would be to activate or supply background knowledge. All of my students would have had their first day of school before so I will ask them what some of their fears were. 5y

maciforster The books seems so great!! I‘ve attempted to use the same standard for my teachlive but I didn‘t address this properly, however I think it would be great to use! 5y

Erinehart This is such a cute book. I agree with you on using this as a read aloud due to all of the speech bubbles. That could be different for a younger child. 4y

DrSpalding Supplying background knowledge and reinforcing key ideas over and over again are best practice methods. Reading aloud his books is FUN! (edited) 4y
