Today for reading buddies we learned all about ground hogs and Groundhog's Day. Did you know that when groundhogs make their burrows they dig up 700 pounds of dirt? Believe it or not... That was one of the cool facts we learned today. Students also learned the history behind Groundhogs Day that it all started in Pennsylvania , brought to us from Europe. Students then predicted whether or not they thought Phil the groundhog would see his shadow on February 2nd. On February 2nd we will see who made the correct prediction and who did not. Then of course to bring it all back to our comprehension strategy, we also worked on summarizing our morning with our reading buddies. The students did a great job we first rain brainstormed what were the big ideas of our morning and how could we summarize it in one or two sentences. The students decided that to summarize our morning we could simply state that with our reading buddies we learned all about groundhogs and Groundhog Day.
