Paired Text: Wee Little Bunny by Lauren Thompson

  • This sweet story follows a wee little bunny on a spring day adventure.
  • Beautiful illustrations and gentle text make this a lovely read-aloud.

Vowel Hunt: short o

  • Display the cover of the issue. Work together to find and circle every word with a short o!

Hands-on Activity: Do the Bunny Hop!

Skill: measurement

Materials: masking tape or sidewalk chalk, measuring tape

  • Rabbits can leap nearly ten feet forward. Have kids hop and see how close they can get to a rabbit!
  • Using sidewalk chalk outside or masking tape inside, make a 10-foot line. For fun, put a picture of a bunny at the end.
  • One at a time, let kids stand at one end of the line and jump as far as they can.
  • Use the measuring tape to mark the distance. Kids can try a few jumps and see if they get closer to the bunny!
