If you're looking for a few last minute things for Groundhog Day, check out the Groundhog Mini Unit from 2 Teaching Mommies. My favorite pages are the Groundhog Parts and Groundhog Size Sequencing. My students will love labeling the parts of the groundhog.


Don't forget these two freebies I posted earlier:
Will You See Your Shadow? Groundhog Song {Freebie}
Groundhog 100's Chart Activity

I've also created a Groundhog Day and Shadows mini unit for Teachers Pay Teachers that includes an emergent reader.


Here are a few things I found that others are using:





Lots of fun ideas can be found on the following Pinterest Board: Deb @ Living Montessori Now.

Thanks to The Very Busy Kindergarten for finding this YouTube video. It's perfect for me since I'm in Missouri. :)





Okay, I realize this is a commercial, but the hand shadow puppets are absolutely amazing!

Be REALLY glad that you can't me hear me sing when I'm making up songs or pretty much anytime I'm singing. I'm one of those people who really can't sing, but LOVES to sing anyway. :) Sometimes, my class and I will be singing a song and the para in our class will be singing along and I will stop so the kids have to fill in the missing part of a song and she will keep singing and we both laugh. It's only funny because she CAN sing and I'm, at best, very pitchy. Ha!

Everyone in my family can sing well. Hmm, maybe I am adopted. 

Somehow, singing with kiddos is amazingly fun! They are so enthusiastic and carefree! However, when adults have to hear me, I want to fore worn them to cover their ears and to please not judge me. I remind them that the kids don't seem to mind how horrible I am. 

Well, if you've made it this far, I'm rewarding you with a freebie song for Groundhog Day that I made up this evening! Thanks for sticking with me! :) Click on the picture below to get your copy.

So, what kind of singer are you?

Last night I created an emergent reader for Groundhog Day and couldn't stop there. I have added a new mini unit to my Teachers Pay Teachers and Teachers Notebook stores. I'd be thrilled if you took a look! The mini unit is 19 pages long and is only $3.
