Groundhog Day

We were so happy when we found out the groundhog did not see his shadow today!  There was a lot of cheering that took place in our classroom because we are ready for Spring!  We enjoyed reading about Groundhog Day and making a groundhog puppet that went along with a song we learned at school today.  We also had fun looking at our Groundhog Day predictions from yesterday and making some shadows outside today at recess!

These are the puppets we made!

This was a funny groundhog book we read!

Yesterday we made our predictions about the groundhog and whether or not he would see his shadow.  The 'NO' group was so happy today when they found out that they correctly predicted the groundhog would not see his shadow!

After talking about he groundhog and his shadow we made some shadows of our own outside.  Some of us took puppets and stuffed animals outside to recess and used them to make shadows.  Others of us just used our hands and bodies to make shadows.  We even talked about how it's fun to make shadows at home on the wall using a flashlight in a dark room!
