This is a great way to motivate young students to write. I got this idea from one of my co-workers at school. When she first introduced the idea to me, I was amazed. She did Busy Bear, and so I decided to do Busy Bunny. The bunny is a stuffed animal that I've bought from Ikea. Every Thursday I choose a student to take home Busy Bunny and write about what adventures they have had all weekend. The bunny is then brought back with the student on Sunday and we read about the adventures together in class. I send home the bunny with a journal in a fabric sack. Each student writes about a page in the journal every week. At the end of the year all the students will have written in the journal and its a nice keepsake.What a great way to encourage your students to do some writing over the weekend!
