February 2 was Groundhog Day. As you might imagine, we read a story about it and did some research on the story that goes along with groundhog day. We learned that if the groundhog wakes up from his hibernation, comes out of his or her burrow and sees his shadow, he or she quickly returns to the burrow as there will be six more weeks of winter. If the groundhog does not see it's shadow, that means we will have an early spring. We were a little disappointed to learn that because it was a very sunny day, the groundhog did indeed see it's shadow so there will be six more weeks of winter!
We made a pretty cute groundhog puppet project. We also wrote about groundhog day in our writer's notebooks!
