Groundhog day learning


Will the Groundhog see his shadow?
This is the question we surveyed today at morning meeting. 

Mrs. Kubesh read us a fiction book about groundhogs and a nonfiction book about
groundhogs during Library.

Today we learned a lot about groundhogs.  We made predictions in math about if Punxsutawney Phil would see his shadow.  The students loved watching the video and discussing what it mean if Spring comes early.  Here are some great questions to discuss with your child:  Can groundhogs really predict the weather?  What is hibernation?  Why do groundhogs gather and eat a lot of food in the fall? What is another name for a groundhog?
