Groundhog Day Lesson Plans
To be honest, I’m not sure why I love Groundhog Day… it is in the dead of winter and we are almost always expected to get 6 more weeks of winter. BUT I do love it!
So how do we celebrate? I’m so glad you asked.
Poetry
This year, I wrote a new poem for Groundhog Day!
If you have our Poetry Music and Video files, you may have noticed something different. I have added QR codes to the student poems. In this way, students can take their poetry notebooks home and practice the poem! Here is a sampling of February’s poems. I am kind of excited!
Other Videos
I am a HUGE fan of SciShow Kids on YouTube!
Books
The Substitute Groundhog by Pat Miller
Groundhog’s Runaway Shadow by David Biedrzycki [LOVE}
The Substitute Groundhog was one of your listening station activities from Scholastic a few years back. It is included in THIS bundle.
I reactivated the January 2014-2015 in case you are looking for JUST this book. You can see that file HERE.
Groundhog’s Runaway Shadow was part of this year’s Listening Stations. If you click on the cover below, it will take you to the file.
Literacy Centers

The writing station!!!! We sort of love this center.
Math Centers
Base 10 counting write the room
Here is a base 10 activity that is in this ink saving unit for February.
Printables
These work great for morning work. They are all from the Save My Ink files.
Snack
How cute are these… AND I love Milano cookies (more than I should). This adorable snack idea came from Parent’s Magazine via Handmade Charlotte.
There you have it!
If you are disappointed I did not include my usual Peek at my Week post, please let me know in the comments. I can certainly return back to those posts next week.

Love your Peek at my Week plans! Would like to see what you did for Groundhog Day week. Thanks!
A) Your email address it AMAZING! Ha!
B) I didn’t type them all out this last week, but I will be sure to add them next week!
Oooooh! Yes, please do include your previous version of Peek at my Week. They were so helpful. It really helps me get a clear visual of how to organize my own planning with your amazing resources! 🙂
You bet! I will be sure to include them next week!!!!
Thank you for sharing! I purchased your poetry music and video files! My kinders LOVE them! They did have a question about the squirrel in your hibernation song. They asked why you used a squirrel because they don’t hibernate. They wanted me to write to you! LOL! I told them it was a fiction song. They are excited to use your Groundhog poem on Thursday. Thank you again for ALL you do!
Okay, how do you keep your stamps so clean? Mine have ink all over them!!
HA! These are fairly new. I had to replace mine because I had an unfortunate accident with them in transport. HA! they are usually a hot mess and I am totally okay with that. Let it go… let it go….
PLEASE INCLUDE PEEK AT MY WEEK!!! I ADORE those posts!!! Thank you!!!
