I love books! I know I’m not alone, right? I think I get more excited about the Scholastic Book Order than most of the kids! Recently, I took a trip to my local bookshop to check out the latest & greatest books! You guys…I walked out with 11 new books!
Since Groundhog Day is just around the corner {and it always seems to sneak up on me!} I thought I would share an adorable book I bought and a craftivity to go with it!
Have you seen Groundhog’s Day Off?
It’s an adorable story about a Groundhog who is fed up with people just visiting him on February 2nd to find out if he sees his shadow or not! He wishes the reporters and looky-loos would ask him a few personal questions about himself – not just about his prediction! So, he takes a much-needed vacation just before February 2nd rolls around. The town scrambles to find a replacement for Groundhog – and it’s not as easy as they imagine!
To extend this lesson, have your students make these adorable Groundhogs!
The mouth of the groundhog is actually made of clothespins so they’ll hold some work! Won’t this be such a fun display for your classroom?
Enter your info below and this Groundhog Day FREEBIE will be sent your way!
Slainte!
