Groundhog Day!
This week in library classes we learned about and celebrated the fun tradition of Groundhog Day (February 2nd). All learners were treated to Gail Gibbons's detailed nonfiction title, watched Nature Cat, and had time for a few enriching activities as well. In addition, kindergarten also enjoyed Go To Sleep, Groundhog!
My intention was for learners to walk away from this lesson with the understanding that while Groundhog Day is a fun tradition brought to the U.S. by our European ancestors, a groundhog is a lousy predictor of weather long term (2 or 6 weeks for instance). Below are a few images of learners working on one of the activities (Make A Hundred Chart Groundhog). It was another fun filled week of learning!
