Rabbits and Snow?!
I never thought I'd be celebrating the beginning of Spring with a snow day!! However, that's what we had yesterday. My boys were beyond excited. Me... not so much. I am done with the snow and cold. I am ready for Spring!

Ducks
Snow?! I am going to completely ignore the idea of a big storm coming my way. I am ready for Spring! So despite the forecast, I am going to keep thinking happy, Spring thoughts.
Two things that always remind me of Spring are ducks and bunnies. This week we started reading fiction stories about ducks. We'll continue with non-fiction ducks and then jump right into bunnies.
Daisy is one of my favorite ducks to read about in class. She is a lovable duck and a great character to write about. Here are some examples of the character traits my students came up with to describe Daisy.
My students have also been working on using the story parts in their writing to retell a story. Here are a few examples from other great Daisy books.

Cats, Cats and more Cats
These past two weeks were all about cats. We started with a mischievous little cat named Cookie. My students loved reading about all of the mischief he gets into. Then, they created their own Cookie story, writing about the different things Cookie would do if he went into their houses.
Next we read Grumpy Cat. My kids loved this story! Grumpy Cat is a fun story to use when talking about how a character changes. We discussed finding evidence in the book to support how Grumpy Cat felt in the beginning of the story and the end. Luckily, we could all agree that by the end of the book, Grumpy Cat wasn't quite so grumpy!
Another story we read was Dog vs. Cat. My students thought this was a very silly book! Together, we created a t-chart for which pet they would prefer to have, a dog or a cat. After coming up with some great reasons, the students then wrote about their opinions. They have come so far with their writing since the beginning of the year!
Our study of cats continued into the next week with one of the most popular cats around, The Cat in the Hat! I'll post more about our Dr. Seuss week later...
