For the Birds

One of my favorite Pixar short films is called "For the Birds." It's about a group of birds with poor social skills. I use this film to discuss the types of behaviors that students see or engage in at school. The worksheets are a great way for students to express how they would respond to these situations.

It's like you read my mind! I started using this video with my K-2 students just last week to talk about conflict resolution. I love the "What would you do?" worksheets you use with it.

I also really like Josh Selig's "The Olive Branch" videos from Little Airplane Productions and the Little Light Foundation. They are very quick (around 1 minute) but with great conclusions! And they are adorable!

Awesome! Glad you loved the worksheets! :)

I found some of the Olive Branch videos on YouTube, but do you know where to find the whole collection? They are adorable! I don't know why I am just now finding out about this series. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Marissa,
I've used FTB to introduce discussions on bullying and exclusion, but today I am using it with third grade to introduce communication - body language, tone of voice, facial expressions. I think it will be perfect! Thanks for all of the fabulous resources you have on your website. My students thank, you, too; you have made my classes a lot more fun!
