Look Who is Having a Great Groundhog Day Hat
An adorable hat to make for Groundhog Day! Handout comes in both color and black and white. The image is a cartoon groundhog holding a wooden sign that reads " _________ is having a great groundhog day!". Students write their names on the blank line and can enjoy wearing their hats when they learn about Groundhog Day. I always used the black and white option and had the students spend time color and decorating their hats. After that we glue them onto sentence strips or long pre-cut construction

Groundhog Day Shadow Match
I like to discuss shadows and light on Groundhog's Day to help make the day more educational. This is a great handout that incorporates students' beginning knowledge of shadows. Students draw lines from the groundhog to his shadow first and then connect other objects to their matching shadows. I also have students color the pictures as well. It is fun to flip the handout over and have students draw a picture of their own with its' shadow too. It is a fun, educational activity to complete on Grou

Groundhog's Day What's the Difference?
A great activity to complete on Groundhog's Day. Students will circle all the differences in the two groundhog pictures and then color both pictures. Groundhog pictures could be cut out and used for another craft later in the day as well. It's a fun, but still educational activity that the students will enjoy!

Teaching style
Creative, hands-on, fun, effective and educational learning atmosphere is very important to me! Students learn best when they are doing something new and interesting. Make every day a special one! Caring and nurturing, but believes in a strong classroom management plan. With structure and clear rules any student can "behave" and be respectful. Emphasizes students showing respect and manners in and out of the classroom.

Additional biographical information
I come from a looong line of teachers in my family and I am proud to keep that tradition going. Being able to help others and use my creativity in an occupation was always a goal of mine and being an educator allows me to do both of these things and so much more.
In my "personal life", I am married to a wonderful man and I am the proud mommy of two beautiful girls. I joined this website to share ideas and to help bring in some extra money for my husband's recent kidney transplant. I hope everyone can get use out of my products!
*On a side note ... if anyone ever needs any Clipart created, my hubby and I are fairly artistic and can and will draw almost anything that you may be in need of for an activity. I have not posted any for sale yet because I have so much, but let me know if/what you would be interested in :D
