Bunny Readers – Hopper 5 W’s Poems
By Miss Wilson’s 2nd Graders

Among the large number of bunny books we have read for the Bunny Readers project, we recently completed Hopper and Hopper Hunts for Spring, both by Marcus Pfister. We then created Hopper poems using the 5 W’s – Who is the subject – What is he doing – Where is he doing it – When is he doing it – Why is he doing it. After writing, we illustrated our poems in Marcus Pfister style by using construction paper and colored chalk.
