Funny Bunnies

A classroomklassics.com reader writes:

I have two pet rabbits in my classroom. Although they are brothers, let's just say they "act like rabbits" ALL THE TIME! They never give it a rest! Last year I started to use the bunnies as incentive for writing. Students would do animal observations, and write down everything the animals did for 15 minutes, being certain to use lots of descriptive words. It didn't take long for the students to notice that Skippy and Stew loved to "play leapfrog" as they decided to call it. I would read pages and pages of detailed descriptions of this never ending leapfrog game. On the last day of school, one of my more worldly second graders came up and whispered that he just wanted me to know that he and another boy in class knew what Skippy and Stew had REALLY been doing all year!
