And Then I Brought a Rabbit to School...
AND IT WAS SO FUN! If you read my post from the other day, you'll know that we've been researching rabbits all week and at the end of the week, I wanted to bring in a bunny! Believe me... my student teacher and I were SUPER nervous about this little Bunny Foo Foo hopping around our classroom, but it was seriously a blast!
First, I put my students in groups so that they could research rabbits and fill out their graphic organizer:
The next day, we read lots of books about rabbits and we did a shared writing and wrote an informational piece together as a class:
Day #3, they took everything that they had learned and wrote their own informational writing:
Next, they made their cute paper-plate rabbits and I hung them up in the hall:
And there you have it! Every ONE of my students will be asking their parents for a pet rabbit! YIKES!
Snag a freebie from this packet, right {here}!
All of this (including the bulletin board letters), can be found in my Rabbit Research Pack! Make sure you re-download if you've already bought because I added a few pages this morning! Happy spring break to ME! :)
And my sweet friend Cheryl just uploaded a little extension on my vocabulary cards that I put in my packet! Check out her FABULOUS vocab book!!!

Rabbit Research for the Common Core
We are researching rabbits this week (all week) and guess what?!?!? I found someone to bring in a pet rabbit on Wednesday to surprise my students. I AM SO EXCITED! They are seriously going to scream (but hopefully not...because I don't want to scare the bunny). We are fitting in some major informational writing this week and that makes our Common Core hearts happy, happy, happy! (But don't worry, if you don't want to research rabbits, I've included blank sheets so you can research any animal AND it can align with any not-so-common-core-standards!)
Included in this Informational Writing Pack:
Graphic Organizers (5)
Poem
Vocabulary Cards
Writing paper (5)
5 Sentences Writing Poster
Rabbit Craft
Generic Graphic Organizers (in case you don't want to research rabbits)
Generic Writing Paper
Spring Fever? NO WAY!
I'm doing this in my classroom again this year and it works like a CHARM!
Are your kiddos feeling the spring fever or are you the one going stir crazy!?
This management tip is used on our 1st grade team but will work in any classroom.
It's great for springtime spring fever.
You need 2 Easter baskets and plastic Easter eggs (you need double the amount of eggs as you have students...so if you have 25 students, you need 50 plastic Easter eggs). Can anyone say Dollar Tree?
In basket #1, you fill the eggs with the students' names (one name in each egg). In the other basket, you fill the eggs with strips of papers that have prize names on them.
Randomly throughout the day/week, pick a student to come and pick an egg out of the name basket. They open up the egg and read the name {or you can pick from the basket instead of having a student do it-I just like to involve everyone}. If that student is on task they get to pick an egg from the prize basket (If they are not on task, you just quietly put the egg back and the students know that someone that was picked was not on task). Here is a list of the prizes I giveaway. Some of them might not be applicable to you, but you can just leave those out.

After the winning student gets their prize, you also give them one of these certificates! It makes them feel so good and you'll have VERY on task students all week.
