Our class was very excited to see whether or not the groundhog would see his shadow. He or she emerged and told us that we are in for an early spring. Some students were happy and some wanted more snow. We also discussed the probability of a groundhog being able to truly predict the weather. We talked about folklore, traditions, and myths. There was also a discussion about how this tradition was brought to the United States by immigrants and how the ceremony in Pennsylvania is 130 years old. Our class also made fun groundhog puppets and did some sentence writing on the subject. Lets hope the groundhog is right!!!!!
