Groundhog Day Shadow Writing

As hard as it is to believe, February starts on Monday, which means Groundhog Day is on Tuesday.  Did it sneak up on anyone else???

I created a writing activity for my kiddos and a thrilled with how it turned out!!

I've turned it into a learning pack for a ready to use writing lesson for you.  There's an anchor chart to spark a discussion and six shadows to share with your group.  Ask them: What do you infer the shape is?  How do you know?  Then using different shadows students will create a flap book where they print their guess on the top flap then underneath print their reasoning.

You can find it HERE to learn more.  Be sure to check out the preview to see everything that's included.

 

As always the first 3 people who comment on this post will receive a free copy.  I'm heading out for a bit but will check in later this evening and send a copy to the people who comment.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Groundhog Day ABC Freebie

As a mom of teenage children I spend lots of time WAITING around.  This afternoon I was clever and took my laptop with me.  While I was waiting at her school (yep on a Sunday) for my daughter I created a little Groundhog Day activity that I thought I would share with you.

 

There are four cards that students need to use to put the Groundhog Day words in order.  I plan to use it as a literacy activity. 

You can download a copy here.  If you're in the midst of Groundhog Day planning you might be interested in my Groundhog Day Tens and Ones activity.  Click on the picture to learn more.

PS - I hope it's a cloudy day on February 2nd - I'd love an early spring.

Groundhog Day

Just a quick post tonight as I am EXHAUSTED!  It has been difficult to get back into the swing of things AND my daughter (with my help) is working on a science fair project.  There are lots of good things about science fairs and I tell myself that the bonding time we share is precious!  Right?

So --- are you planning for Groundhog Day?  I have one of my Tens and Ones activities available at my TPT store both individually and in a bundle.
