Duck on a Bike

What a fun way to start spring out--by reading the story about Duck on a Bike.  There were so many great comprehension skills that went well with this book.  The students loved acting it out making the onomatopoeia sounds as well as what they said to duck.  Each animal had its own point of view (another comprehension skill) about a duck riding a bike.  We discussed the main idea of the book by doing the who, what, where, when, why, and how chart.  The students did not realize that they were using adjectives when we created the bubble map.  What great writing they did when we did a text to self connection writing of when they first rode a bike.
