Hey there 🙂  Today my littles and I wrote about bunnies!  We used the writing prompt, “If I were a bunny,” from my bunny hop {a craftivity} pack.  To get the kiddos going, we made an anchor chart:

Then we wrote about what we would do if we were bunnies, and made this craft to go with it:

This sweet girl {left} said she would hop in the street and be cute so she could get more carrots.  This cute boy {right} with the wink said he would hop right into your hand and steal your carrots!  If you’d like to do this with your class, click here.


Today during center time, I introduced two new activities and the kids LOVED both.  The first activity and idea comes from Sunny Days in Second Grade.  Denise is amazing, and I’ve been eyeing her word shakers down for a while!  I finally made some of my own:

Hehehe.. here’s a better photo:

I made two, Awesome Antonyms and Super Synonyms.  I have a lot of ideas for more: Vibrant Verbs, Amazing Adjectives, Cool Contractions….  I used dollar store water bottles tinted in pink, and white rice.  Because the water bottles are tinted, I avoided having to dye the rice with food coloring.  Unfortunately I only have one more bottle {it’s all they had!} and I can’t find the same kind ANYwhere!!!  And believe me, I tried.  I will have to let go of my OCD and settle on a different bottle for future shakers….  Anywho, be sure to visit Denise because she also offers freebies that go with her shakers!


The second activity and idea comes from Rowdy in First Grade.  Jennifer used all of her dollar store Easter finds to make some super cute centers!  I had about a zillion plastic eggs, so I easily made these:

The students have to match the top and bottom so the words go together.  Jennifer has other ideas {which I also copied but don’t have pics of lol} so hop on over to her blog and check them out!


And last but certainly not least, let’s join a little Looky in My Lunchbox Linky!
