It’s Groundhog Day!…..almost

I love Groundhog Day! My students always get so excited when we read a story about Phil, make predictions, and then watch the news video online to check if he sees his shadow. I made this graphing activity to use with my class, I hope you have fun with your class too. February 2nd is right around the corner!

You can download it free from my TpT store or my Teachers Notebook shop. Enjoy!

Here’s link with some history about Groundhog Day from the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.

 

Take care,

Love to Joplin & a Freebie!

Deedee at Mrs. Wills Kindergarten blog posted about the devastation in Joplin, and how difficult it has been for the teachers & students in the community. Her post rallied us bloggers to show our love and generosity, and I’m proud to say we did! Read about it HERE, and what you can still do to help out.

In the spirit of giving, here’s a freebie for you to enjoy with your class. It’s a great whole group activity, and once you teach them how to play, it can be used in your math centers. It has three levels of differentiation. Enjoy!

You can download this free at my TpT store or Teachers Notebook shop.
