Awesome Adjectives

Last week while Mason was visiting in the morning he read one of his favorite picture books to the class, "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late" by Mo Willems.  We used this story to revisit adjectives.  The class came up with a fantastic list of descriptive adjectives to describe this funny pigeon.  We then called up a classmate and used adjectives to describe this friend.  The class loved calling out adjectives as we stuck them right to her.  The students then brainstormed adjectives to describe themselves that they added to a picture they drew of themselves.  We found the adjectives we used to describe ourselves were quite different than how we described the Pigeon!
