Groundhogs Day teachings


We all gathered around the computer this morning to watch the festivities over in Punxsutawney, PA.  It was crazy. I can 't believe that many people show up to see Phil and find out if Winter will stick around for another 6 weeks!

In case you missed it....


What we read...What I love about this book is that it's funny and educational. Tells all about
Groundhogs...aka  Whistle Pigs...aka Woodchucks..


Some fun Groundhog worksheets from 




A worksheet on shadows from Scholastic.


An entire unit study from Enchanted Learning (for Zachary)




Our snack...I made Groundhog Push Pops...as the groundhog pushes his way back
up the burrow after hibernation...



Hope your day is wonderful and Blessed!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
