I printed out copies of the Loof Lirpa "newspaper" article I wrote. (free and editable here -

The kids were so excited! Mariel (my teammate), and I passed out carrots to all the kids and we practiced our Loof Lirpa calls. Mariel and I could not make eye contact without laughing. We immediately had one kiddo suspicious... but we played it off.
We walked out into the yard and went on a wild bird search.
It was awesome! They were so funny...
A few of them started to mention they thought this might be similar to the "Tree Octopus" story (I use this when teaching digital citizenship, I will share more later), and some caught the author's name. But several kids had definite sightings of the Loof Lirpa.
We went in and wrote cinquain poems about this special bird.
Then I shared mine...
So fun! We did something similar. :)
