This book camp will be full of laughter and fun as we read the pigeon books by Mo Willems. Each week will be a different book, with a craft or activity to go with it. The pigeon books are my favorite and I love reading them to young children. The pigeon is very silly and sneaky, always trying to get into some kind of mischief! I am a very animated reader, especially with these books. I am sure to keep your child engaged and laughing! 

You do not have to have these books on hand, as I will be reading them in class. You are welcome to join my camp from the beginning, come and go as fits your schedule, or drop in for your favorite book!
Class will begin with a short free talk, allowing the children to get to know each other and myself. We will then read the book of the week, allowing the children to be involved as it is read! After, we will discuss the story, which will include looking at different things within it (ex. Thought bubbles, lines, punctuation used). We will then do our activity!

A flex course allows learners to cover material during a time that is convenient for them each week.  Students are encouraged to check in with the teacher weekly via the Outschool classroom, which will allow for more engagement between the teacher and learner.  After weekly lessons, students can collaborate with their peers by replying to the announcements and lesson postings in the Outschool classroom.

Participation will include the Introduction post, discussion posts, assignments, and projects in the Classroom. This allows students to process what they are learning by collaborating with peers and the teacher.  Participation in assignments allows students to practise and reinforce learning.  This also provides opportunities for the teacher to gauge student learning and provide interventions if necessary.  Private messages or classroom comments are usually responded to within 24 hours with the exception of Saturdays and Sundays.


All materials are posted in the classroom by the end of Monday (UK time) each week. Learners are expected to interact in the classroom each week on the various posts in the required ways and complete the necessary tasks by Sunday each week. This is important as educational research shows that consistent interaction and feedback is necessary in order to create a quality learning experience. I want to ensure that students are given a rich learning experience, and not left to learn content on their own. 


This course is taught by Teacher Heather.
