Project Groundhog Kick Off
Mrs. Kennedy's Second Grade Super Stars kicked off Project Groundhog today by watching Punxsatawny Phil crawl out of his burrow and predict an early spring. After watching the famous Pennsylvania groundhog we went outside to see if our very own groundhogs would see their shadows. Guess what? They saw their shadows! Now we need to wait and see if winter will last 6 more weeks. So now we will have to see which groundhog prediction proves to be right over the next 6 weeks. We have connected with classes from Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Kansas, Nevada, and Arizona to compare the weather data we will be collecting. Yesterday we collected data and graphed our predictions for the groundhog. Eleven second graders predicted that the groundhog would see its shadow today and six second graders predicted the groundhog would not see its shadow. After taking a class vote we named our groundhog mascot Frank. Stay tuned for more updates.
