Groundhog Day is coming soon! It was always tough to fit into my schedule because the 100th Day of School always happened around the same time. I am collecting several Groundhog Day activities and ideas for you guys so that you can start plugging them into your lesson plans! Happy predicting!

It would be fun to use Groundhog reading material in your reading groups. These two leveled readers are great for independent reading in primary grades!
Learn What Groundhog Day Is! Read a Nonfiction Passage
This Groundhog Day flip book tells the students WHAT Groundhog Day is and why it is celebrated. So, after their fictional read-alouds, students will grasp an idea of what Groundhog Day is. This will solidify their new knowledge. You can also read this passage first to give them background knowledge before reading their fictional stories.
Don’t want such a big craft? Here is a nonfiction/fiction paired passage from my Winter Differentiated Texts. There are three levels for your readers in your classroom.
