Getting Ready For Groundhog Day

January 21, 2013 By Mary Amoson 1 Comment

Getting Ready for Groundhogs Day
It is coming… next week is Groundhog Day!
I am planning for it now. Are you?
Okay… I get it. WHO has the time to get it all together?
I know the hardest lessons to plan are science and social studies for me,
but they are the most fun to teach.
Well, I did all the work for you on this one!
I went through my groundhog unit and added several new activities and revamps it. It is better than ever now!
click on the picture or {here} on TpT,
Here are some “action shots” for the my classroom.Working on GR blends gr blends to write the room
And we match the vocabulary words from this unit in centers. Working on Vocabulary with these centers.
And since time is always on our minds…
I integrate Groundhogs Day into my writing time.
Here are the FUN word wall and writing activity for this topic. Word Walls & WritingBUT… the week of Groundhog Day, I always teach about lights and shadows as well.
Here is my science unit dedicated to just this… and it is so much fun!
There are some GREAT books to use and resources to grab, so get this unit now,
then you can use Amazon to grab the books to use,
and then you can be ready to go in a week!
Lights and Shadows
I will take LOTS of pictures to show you what we do and learn!
I love this week of lesson plans!
One thing I want you to GO GET NOW are these glasses to diffuse light to “see” the colors inside it.
This is a great way to proof that light contains all the colors in the rainbow and they are so much FUN!
Have so much fun planning and getting ready for a GREAT groundhog’s week ahead!

This week seemed to be the longest and slowest all This week seemed to be the longest and slowest all at the same time. In science, we dove into the water cycle. On Friday, we got to try some simple (covid friendly) science experiments. We melted colors ice cubes to show states of matter changes. Then we did small cups for sink float. We predicted if each item would sick or float, then tested out. We can choose f2f or virtual this week, so I only had 12 in the room with me and 8 at home.
