We changed our calendar today and were excited to see that Valentines Day is near. We also were curious about Groundhog Day. We learned that according to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then Spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and go back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks. We learned that the sun has to be out for the groundhog to see its shadow. We had fun pretending to be a groundhog and playing with our shadow. We also predicted whether the groundhog would see his shadow when he comes out of his hole this Sunday. We can’t wait to see what happens!
"Old man Groundhog sticks out his head....
...sees his shadow and goes back to bed!"
"Old man Groundhog sticks out his head; it's a grey cloudy day....I'm hungry he says"!
We liked making a groundhog puppet to teach our parents about what we learned.
Seven predictions for more Winter and thirteen for Spring!
We cant wait to see what the Groundhog says!
