Download PDFReal Talk About Falcon Coloring Pages (From Someone Who Learned the Hard Way)
You know what's harder than explaining the difference between a falcon and a hawk to second graders? Realizing halfway through that you're not entirely sure yourself.
That was me, Tuesday morning, holding up falcon coloring pages while twenty-three seven-year-olds waited for wisdom I didn't have.
"They're faster," I said. Lucas immediately asked how much faster. I said I'd check during lunch.
The Speed Thing Became Everything
Turns out falcons can dive at 240 mph. I know this because I looked it up during lunch, then made the mistake of sharing it after recess.
Suddenly every falcon needed motion lines.
Have you ever seen a seven-year-old draw motion lines? It looks like the falcon is exploding. Maya's falcon appeared to be traveling through multiple dimensions simultaneously. She said it was going 500 mph. When I mentioned the actual speed, she added more lines to make it "extra fast."
Quick Tip:
Accept the motion lines. Fighting them only creates more motion lines.
Wednesday's Revelation
Aiden's dad trains birds. Of course he does.
Aiden informed us, while coloring his falcon's talons orange (they're not orange), that falcons wear special hoods. The class lost their minds. Everyone wanted to draw hoods on their falcons. I said the coloring pages already showed the falcons without hoods. They added them anyway.
Pink hoods. Sparkly hoods. One falcon got a baseball cap.
I let it happen. Sometimes you pick your battles, and sometimes you just watch a falcon wear a tiny sombrero that Madison drew with remarkable detail.
The Peregrine Problem
Our coloring pack had different falcon types. I didn't realize this would matter until Jordan announced his was a "peregrine falcon" like he was declaring nobility.
Mass exodus to the peregrine pages.
Except we only had six peregrine copies. Do you know what happens when twenty-three kids want six pages? I made copies during my plan period. By then, three kids had decided peregrines were "too normal" and wanted prairie falcons instead. We didn't have prairie falcons.
Emma drew her own prairie falcon. It had four wings because "prairie falcons are different." Sure.
Things That Actually Worked
The falcon eye discussion. Completely unplanned.
Marcus noticed the eyes on his coloring page were "looking at him weird." This led to discovering falcons can see ultraviolet light. The kids wanted to color what falcons see. I had no idea what that would look like. Neither did they. The results were... psychedelic.
Surprisingly Successful Falcon Activities
- ✦ Falcon vs. airplane race drawings (falcons diving past Southwest jets)
- ✦ Design your own falcon hood contest (winning design had WiFi)
- ✦ "What would you hunt if you were a falcon?" lists (mostly pizza)
- ✦ Making falcon diving sounds (until the principal walked by)
We also tried measuring out how far falcons can see. Eight football fields. We got to two parking spaces before giving up and just saying "really far."
The City Falcon Situation
Thursday. Olivia mentions seeing a falcon downtown.
I almost corrected her. Then remembered the news segment about peregrine falcons nesting on the bank building. Pulled up the webcam. There they were. City falcons. The class watched a falcon eat a pigeon on a skyscraper while coloring their pages.
Half horrified. Half fascinated. All adding buildings to their falcon pictures.
"My falcon lives at Target," announced Ben.
By Friday, we had an entire metropolis of retail falcons. Target falcon. Walmart falcon. One ambitious "Starbucks falcon" holding a tiny coffee cup in its talon.
Questions That Caught Me Off Guard
"Do falcons have friends?" No idea. We decided yes.
"Can falcons swim?" Looked it up. Technically yes but they don't like it. This disappointed Kevin, who'd already drawn his falcon in swimming goggles.
"Why don't we have pet falcons?" Legal reasons, Kevin's mom informed me at pickup. Apparently Kevin asked for one at breakfast.
What color are baby falcons?
White and fluffy, apparently. This discovery derailed everything. Everyone wanted to add baby falcons to their pictures. Some kids erased their entire adult falcon to draw babies instead.
Isabella drew a falcon daycare. I don't know why. But there were tiny falcon cribs.
Are eagles just big falcons?
No, but try explaining taxonomy to kids who still mix up yesterday and tomorrow.
We settled on "different bird families." Like how dogs and cats are both pets but different. This led to Dylan insisting his falcon was related to his parakeet. Maybe it is. I stopped fact-checking around Wednesday.
Do falcons sleep?
Yes. Standing up, apparently. With one eye open sometimes.
This information broke their little minds. The afternoon became "falcon sleeping position" practice time. I have a photo somewhere of my entire class standing on one foot with one eye closed. The custodian thought we were doing yoga.
Final count: 47 colored falcons, 12 falcon hoods, approximately 300 motion lines, one complaint from Kevin's mom about pet falcon requests, and a newfound appreciation for birds I definitely confused with hawks until this week.
Next week we're doing butterflies. They don't dive at 240 mph. I checked.
