Chairs for the Pigeon!

As a final activity for our Science unit on Objects and Materials, students built a chair for the pigeon (from the Mo Willems series of books).  They brought a variety of materials from home and then got to work at school this afternoon building their chairs.  We tested each chair by having the pigeon sit on it!

Hard at work!

It was nice to see a little collaboration going on when students needed some help!

Oops!  This chair was a bit too small!

Here's a sturdy one!

This looks very comfy!

Some chairs were very elaborate!

Special thanks to a teacher in Manitoba (from "First Grade Garden") for the idea for this lesson!
