Groundhog Day 2011

All we can say is…

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Hmmm…..  a lot???

We didn’t have a woodchuck in the classroom but we DID have a WOMBAT!  (Wilbur Wombat is a classroom visitor from Mooloolaba, Australia. Actually, we are kind of wondering if Haida Bear will ever come home!)

So… the classroom Meteorologist of the Week took Wilbur Wombat outside to do the SHADOW CHECK!  We all crowded around to see… would the WOMBAT see his SHADOW and predict 6 more weeks of WINTER???

Yippee!  No shadow!  Spring will be early here! (Mind you, by recess the sun had come out and we ALL saw our shadows.)

Wiarton Willie (Ontario, Canada), Shubenacadie Sam (Nova Scotia, Canada) and Punxsatawney Phil (Pennsylvania, USA) have a new pal on the West Coast, and it’s Wilbur Wombat!

Happy Groundhog Day to you all!
