Proud Pupil Peacock Progress Pals

Now there's a tongue twister to rival Peter Piper!

These adorable birds are a wonderful way to build a student’s self-esteem, show progress and let others know what students are learning in your class.

They are easy and simple to implement and can last the entire year, making a nice keepsake of all that a child has accomplished in preschool Y5’s, kindergarten etc.

At the beginning of the year, you can keep the peacocks in a student file folder or their portfolio.

As students learn new report card standards and pass assessments, earning feathers, the peacocks acquire lots of plumage.

Design a makeshift bulletin board in the hallway to display your students’ progress for the rest of the year and watch their self-confidence grow as they get to “strut their stuff!”

Your caption can include that concept:” _______________’s students are strutting their stuff.  (S)he is so proud of their accomplishments”! Or “Look what ___________________’s students have accomplished this year! We’re proud peacock pupils who have earned the right to strut our stuff!”

Here’s how to make a Proud Peacock Progress Pal:

Run off the templates on brightly colored construction paper.

To expedite things I have them pre-cut as well as the circles.

Students could also color these in, but I like the extra pizzazz the construction paper makes.

Students cut out their peacock and write their name on the tummy.

If you want to add some 3D pizzazz, students can add wiggle eyes, 4 rhinestones at the top of the bird’s head, a 3D beak and yellow construction paper feet.

When a student passes an assessment, the child adds feathering detail with a complimentary colored marker and the teacher writes down what report card standard they have mastered.

Feathers should be glued to the backs of the birds in an alternate ABAB pattern. The next row should be another set of 2 different colors.
