The Thing About Spring, by Daniel Kirk is a fun story about animals in the springtime. All the animals are excited that spring is here, except for Rabbit. He feels like he will miss all the fun things about winter. His friends remind him about all the great things about spring and help him realize the importance of spring. We chose a fun way to meet standard 1 for The Thing About Spring by having students write all the great things about spring from the text.





We ended each three to five day close read with a writing and an art project that compliments the story.
