Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?That was THE question February 1st. We predicted he would! Today February 2, 2010 was the "official" groundhog day we had anticipated. Our prediction was correct! We watched Phil via utube. Then during rotation time all our activities were in honor of Phil. We wrote sentences, read books, sang songs, and sequenced his story. We located Pennsylvania and decided Phil did not live in Texas because..."we do not have any snow or men in funny suits and hats around here." The kids also thought that Phil was probably thinking "how rude of you to wake me up for this!" Too many people and cameras. The other observation was "don't you think it was all the flashes going off that caused his shadow...cause we didn't see any sun there." Anyway we know that Spring is six weeks away, but what fun we had trying to pronounce Punxsutawney, making predictions and learning about shadows too.
We also had our first experience with Mr. Johnson and netbooks. Exciting! Techno savy here we come!
In science we placed "seeds"/butter beans in ziploc bags to observe what will happen. We are competing with the the other Kinder classes to see whose sprouts first. We can observe everybody's daily as we taped them to the big windows by the atrium that we pass daily headed to lunch. Team Wise hopes we have the greenest thumbs!
Each child, each day, success!
