Dictation: A Golden Key

A monkey and a donkey were in a barley crop when they discovered a golden key.  The monkey reflected on whether the key was for a chest or a bank vault.  The monkey and the donkey were about to try both locks when a turkey appeared.  The turkey explained that the key opened the golden gate to the valley of honey.  Upon entering the golden gate, all three spent their day eating honey.

Easter Poems


Five Brown Eggs
Five brown eggs in a nest of hay,

One yellow chick popped out to play.

Four brown eggs in a nest of hay,

Another yellow chick cheep-cheeped Good day.

Three brown eggs in a nest of hay,

Crack went another one, Hip hooray.

Two brown eggs in a nest of hay,

One more chick pecked his shell away.

One brown egg in a nest of hay,

The last yellow chick popped out to say, Happy Easter!    



I got a chocolate rabbit
For an Easter treat,
A great big chocolate rabbit,
Good enough to eat.
So I ate his ears on Sunday,
his nose I finished Monday,
Tuesday I nibbled on his feet.
I ate his tail on Wednesday,
Thursday I kept on,
By Friday he was going,
Saturday he was gone.
Oh, I loved that chocolate rabbit,
From the moment that he came,
And if I get another one,
I'll love him just the same.

Easter Bunny Hugs And Kisses
That cute little bunny has hopped all day,
delivering baskets for the holiday.
His paws are so tired and his nose how it itches,
He left you something special to fulfill all your wishes-
Lots of cute little Easter bunny hugs and kisses.

The tiny bunny


Is working all day long

Decorating Easter eggs

While humming a song

He is having so much fun

Making eggs for you and me

And small chocolate bunnies

That he gives away free

But when he is finished

He'll bring them your way

In a big coloured basket

Upon Easter day 

Easter is coming,


Spring is on its way

Hens getting ready

For eggs to lay


Flowers all growing,

Bright and tall

Little lambs born,

Fluffy and small


A time for hope

And a time for prayer

New beginnings

And warmer air


The Easter bunny

And chocolate treats

Egg rolling, hunts

And lots of sweets! 

Bunnies
Bunnies are brown

Bunnies are white

Bunnies are always

An Easter delight.
Bunnies are cuddly

The large and the small.

But I like chocolate ones

The best of all.

Moon


A moon is a round rocky object that orbits a planet.  Earth has one moon that takes 29 days to orbit.  It also takes 29 days for the moon to rotate once.  This means that we only see the one side of it at any time.  The only way we can see the moon is when the sun shines on it.  There are 8 phases of the moon.  A phase describes the changing shape of the moon that we see.  It starts with a new moon where we cannot see any part of the moon lit up.  It is between the sun and Earth.  As more of the moon can be seen it is called waxing, then as less of the moon can be seen, it is known as waning.  When the moon is more than half-lit is called a gibbous moon.  When the moon is less than half lit is called a crescent moon.  The full moon is when the Earth is between the sun and moon.  The tides are the rise and fall of the ocean.  They are made from the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth.  A lunar eclipse is caused when the moon passes through the shadow of the Earth.  It can last up to half an hour.

the alien drove- super sentence


On the dark side of the moon, the spotted, blue aliens drove recklessly over the craters to see the satellite orbiting around Earth.

8- A Stable Fire out of Control

An old fable was set in a stable.  There was a lit candle placed in the middle of a wooden table in that wooden stable.  The stable had no living thing in it.  Suddenly, the ground began to tremble and the candle toppled over.  The candle tumbled over and a raging fire took hold of the wooden stable.  The burnt stable tumbled to the ground.  The moral of the fable is to not leave fire unattended.

The Grand Raffle


A grandfather and his grandson entered a raffle.  The grandfather was baffled when he saw the prizes.  First prize in the raffle was a rifle and second prize was some trifle.  His grandson really wanted to win the rifle.  The boy’s grandfather was glad however that this did not occur and that his grandson won the trifle instead.
