Will Wiarton Willie See his Shadow

by the whole class.  Typed by Mr. McGaughey

Groundhog Day is on Monday February 2.  That’s when Wiarton Willie comes out of his burrow and if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter.  If he doesn’t see his shadow, then spring is on its way.  Our class did a survey too see how many kids think that Willie will not see his shadow and how many children think he will see his shadow.

Challenge:  Ask the people in your family if they think Willie will see his shadow.

Now that the weather is warming up, we can do more of our Daily Physical Activities (DPA) outdoors. Some days when the weather is warm and sunny we may walk to a nearby playground because we don’t have play equipment in our school yard. It is important that your child have closed toed shoes for safety during outdoor activities. If your child wears sandals to school, please ensure that they have a pair of running shoes at school.

It’s Spring!

 By the whole class.  Typed by Mr. McG.

It is finally Spring.  The snow is melting very quickly.  The birds are starting to come back.  There are more sunny days. The flowers are starting to rise from the ground.  We can finally see some grass.  We can see the dirt and lots of MUD!  It is getting warmer.  Now we can finally go swimming. The leaves are starting to grow.
