Calling All Groundhogs!

The past few days we have been talking about Weather Lore and the significance of the groundhog.  We investigated shadows, discovered that there are no groundhogs in Newfoundland, and read a wonderful new story from our library - Wake Up, Groundhog! Thank you Ms. Warren for bringing it to us!

February 2nd is Groundhog Day!   I have a mission for all kinderkids.  Since we have no groundhogs in our province to watch, we will be the groundhogs!  When you wake up on Sunday, check outside to see if you can find your shadow...just like a groundhog would.  We'll be tracking our February weather to see if the tale of the groundhog is true!

We wonder about groundhogs all over the world...will they see their shadow?  Leave us a comment to let us know!

Happy Shadow hunting!  See you on Monday!

Groundhog Detectives

Tomorrow is February the 2nd.  It is Groundhog Day. We do not have groundhogs in Newfoundland so we are going to pretend that we are groundhogs! Tomorrow, we will wake up and go outside and look for our shadows.  
Some people say, that if a groundhog sees a shadow, spring will be 6 weeks away and winter weather will be everywhere. If the groundhog does not see his shadow, then springtime weather will be here soon and winter weather will not happen very often. We are wondering if this is a true story or a make believe story!

We hope that our friends around the world will help us! Please tell us if you have groundhogs where you live.  If you don't, you can pretend to be groundhogs too! Please leave us a comment to let us know if you saw your shadow or not!

Thank you!

Love, Mrs. Fennemore's Kinderkids!

Calling All Groundhogs!

Today is Groundhog Day!

 Since we have no groundhogs in Newfoundland we were going to be groundhogs in kindergarten today and look for our shadow but our snowstorm put an end to that! If you were a groundhog would you see your shadow today? Try it and see!  Let us know what you find out!
