Friday afternoon, we spent some time learning about Groundhog Day. We read some books, made predictions on whether the groundhog would see his shadow and graphed those results. We then made some observations about our graph. We also did a little groundhog craft and made groundhog cupcakes. After the students made their cupcakes they had to write a few sentences telling how to make the cupcake.
One of my firsties declared it to be "The best day EVER!"
And, of course, that was enough reward for me. Those are the moments that keep me plugging along looking for fun ways to enrich learning in ways that will be memorable for the littles.
Happy Teaching!
