Through interdisciplinary teaching, Mrs. Martin and Miss Waters applied our science unit of weather and seasons to language arts and math. In language arts we learned the song "Punxsutawney Phil" We discussed what would happen if the groundhog saw his shadow and what would happen if he didn't see his shadow. Finally, we illustrated our understanding of this fun legend.
In math, we made predictions and voted on what we thought would happen. Nine friends from Miss Waters class (including Miss Waters) predicted the groundhog would see his shadow and return to his burrow for six more weeks of winter. Six friends from Miss Waters class predicted the groundhog would not see his shadow and spring would come early. We graphed and tallied the results.
Here's to hoping for some snow or an early spring-depending on how you voted!
Happy Groundhog Day!
