Pigeon Post

For the past 2 weeks we have been working on Pigeon Post.  This was a new learning for my reading group because we used a multimodal DLO.  Our reading group was split into 4 groups R, E, A, and D.  Our group was R.  We had to work collaboratively as a group and use our smart searching skills to get our tasks done and make up our mind if pigeons are 'pests' or special birds.  My opinion was that I think that they are very special birds because they risked their lives during WW1 to deliver important messages behind the enemy lines that saved many of the soldiers lives.  Check out our pigeons reading follow up where we did all of the other tasks by clicking here.    

Pigeons

            

In reading for the past few weeks we were learning about pigeons and finding out if they are pests or special animals.  We were put into groups to research pigeons to find out if they are pests or special kinds of birds.  Some people think that Pigeons are pests because they carry over 60 types of diseases.  Other people think that pigeons are a special type of bird because they risked their lives in WW1 and 2 by carry messages and delivering it to other people from different cities.
