What is a Snuggle Bunny?

 

This is a question that I asked the students. Here are a few responses.

 

If I had a snuggle bunny I will take it to drive a car. I would turn a snuggle bunny into an Easter bunny. If I had a snuggle bunny it would be the smartest in the world. I would turn it into a dog. I have a tree that is a snuggle bunny. ---Jon

 

A snuggle bunny is a favorite blanket or stuffed animal. My snuggle bunny is a stuffed monkey. His name is PJ. He is a friendly monkey. I love him. I snuggle with him. I snuggle with him.---Rhiannon

 

My snuggle bunny smells like trees. He snuggles with me and he is green and blue. He is not just a bunny. He is a magic bunny. I like my snuggle bunny. He gave me eggs. ---Cody

 

I think a snuggle bunny is orange and blue. He smells like mints. He is mad sometimes. He is soft. He bites sometimes. My snuggle bunny is a wolf. ---Michael

 

I have a cute snuggle bunny. She loves to suck on my finger. She is brown. It is a stuffed animal. I love it very much.---Cassy

 

Snuggle bunnies are like Easter Bunnies. They are fuzzy. They are 3 feet tall and they can fly. They can dig to China in one second and lift up houses. They can swim. It is soft. It is smarter than scientists. ---Dylan

Have you made a New Years Resolution? Well, the students in Room 205 have. Here are a few examples:

 

MichaelàThis year my resolution will be to be a better listener, a better guitar player, and maybe form our own garage band with my cousins and brother. I will cut off the sweets. I will be gentle. This will be a good year for me. I will be in a jolly mood every day. And be a better guy. I’ll try to like writing more.

 

CodyàI will be a better listener and polite to people. I will help people if they need help. I will be a hard worker if the work is hard. I will be nice to people like friends. I’ll be a better person by picking things up like toys or paper or garbage. I will be a better speller. I will be a better friend by being nice to them and playing with all of them. I will be friends with everyone. Happy New Year!
