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.
