Yes, this is how our April began....with a hunt to see the elusive Lirpaloof Bird. The students learned some important characteristics like you can only see the bird at the beginning of April, Lirpaloofs like carrots, and, don't forget, you can not yell at the Lirpaloof. You must sing to it.
Unfortunately, there were no lirpaloofs out when we were searching. So, the students returned to the classroom and read a piece about the lirpaloofs. They had to find certain facts in the text and do some writing on the back.
Since we couldn't find any of the Lirpaloofs we decided to do some word work with their funny name. We worked to find as many words as we could in the word Lirpaloof. That is when it dawned on them....Lirpaloof backwards....APRIL FOOLS!
