Easter is here!

We have been working hard here in first grade.  This week we found a great way to re-use toilet paper tubes.  We have been celebrating Music in Our Schools Month and we decided to make musical instruments.  We made kazoos by punching a hole in the side of the tube and rubber banding parchment paper around the end tightly.  Man, did it get loud in here.  I will post a pic of the finished product soon.

Meanwhile, I am posting another freebie fluency poem.  I think that fluency and recitation in first grade is so important.  Every day we practice saying the same poem all week long. I usually try to find one that is funny or that follows along with our current phonics rule.  But, when all else fails, I write my own.  This little one was drafted to go along with the math and writing activities we will be doing with our chocolate bunnies.  We will be graphing our favorite first bite of a bunny and using the data to help us practice relating addition and subtraction facts.  We will also be writing directions for the best way to eat a chocolate rabbit...I say the ears first.  If you would like a copy you can pick on up here at my TPT store.
