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 
2TeachingMommies




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!
