| I read the story It's Groundhog Day by Steven Kroll and use the song above for an art project/finger play. Have students fold a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper 1/3 of the way up. On the folded part color grass. Glue the poem under the grass. On the top part of the paper draw a sun. Find a clipart groundhog to copy for each child. Color and cut out the groundhog and paste it to a stick. Cut a slit in the folded part of the paper to poke the stick through. Have the students sing the song with you! (Tune: I'm a little teapot) |

| Visit the February Library for Groundhog Day Books |
|
| Have your students graph their hope that the groundhog Sees His Shadow or Does Not See His Shadow After each child marks the graph have them illustrate their reason behind their answer (pictures of snowmen,sledding and pictures of flowers, birds,etc.) Display their drawings under the side by side captions Groundhog, Groundhog What Do You SEE? I see spring coming soon, yippee! and Groundhog, Groundhog What Do You SEE? I see six more weeks of winter, yippee! |
