Groundhog Day

Here in Arizona, Groundhog Day doesn't seem to mean much.  The "winter" we have is so mild and short, that spring is always around the corner in early February regardless of whether he sees his shadow or not.  So, it's funny teaching my kinders about it because they've never really lived in a place where we have winter.  Kind of like our conversations about leaves falling from trees and cooler temperatures in autumn- our leaves don't fall from the trees in Phoenix until around January and sometimes it's still 100 degrees in September.  But we will talk about Groundhog Day a little this week, and we will tie it into our informational writing unit. 

I have couple of freebies to offer you.  The math one aligns to K.CC.2- counting forward from a number other than 1.  The writing one is a put together sentence about Groundhog Day.  We use these at our theme station and as morning work a few days a week.  Get the freebie here.  They are at my store in a couple of different places.  You can find them here or here.

 
 
For those of you in cold places, here's hoping for no shadow and spring right around the corner!

  6. I'm really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A handful of my blog audience have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?
