It’s GROUNDHOG DAY! And we’re celebrating our beloved little whistle pig with our READ IT UP creation for Groundhog Gets A Say!
And now the groundhog fun. Also known as a whistle pig! True story.
We started off our day with groundhog facts! We learned a lot about groundhogs. Now, if only Mr. Greg could learn to draw. This is my sad sad attempt at a groundhog. My dear friend Katie from Teacher To The Core says it’s a buck-toothed bear! Punxsutawney Phil would just die. For shame. And now you know why I buy clip art and not create it!
I love that they have learned so much about groundhogs!!!!
Shadow or no shadow? We made our groundhog coins and predicted who would win. We flipped the coin and graphed our results and analyzed our data to see who the winner was!
Will he or won’t we? We made this prediction the day before Groundhog Day! Then we watch a clip of Phil to see if our prediction was correct! (On Groundhog Day you can just Google Punxsutawney Phil and find a link to a news video to watch!)
Groundhog Snack!
Of course, we had our groundhog in a burrow snack! The best part was crumbling up the Oreo! The ears are chocolate chips!
Here’s another idea for a groundhog snack! We used a large brownie for the burrow, green icing for the grass, and a Teddy Graham for the groundhog!
The next best part was EATING! Num Num!
Of course, what would a holiday be without a silly hat?!
Groundhog Day Art
The students also made these adorable little groundhogs.
And that was our groundhog day!!! A super fun day! We learned a lot about groundhogs, we had tons of fun and we made a silly hat.
All of these activities and more are in our comprehensive READ IT UP creation for Groundhog Gets A Say!
