End of the Year Yearbook Give Away!

I am just getting ready for our end of the year district testing for first grade. It is hard to believe in just a little over two weeks we will be out of school for the summer. We are going full-throttle with reviewing and testing right to the end! To give my students a little break from all the reviewing and testing, I updated my end of the year yearbook! I just barely uploaded it to TpT for sale tonight. 

It is a 26 page packet full of fun and cute ways to remember the past year!

In celebration of my birthday this Saturday I am giving this yearbook away to three lucky winners!! Entering will end Thursday at midnight and the winners will be announced Friday! I hope you'll spread the word and enter to win!

Happy Groundhog day!

Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated in United States and Canada on February 2.

In weather lore, if a groundhog, also known as a woodchuck, or marmot emerges from its burrow on this day and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end. 

Groundhog's Day
Groundhog's Day, I looked around,
Saw my shadow on the ground
Yes I saw my shadow, when I took a peek
That means winter 6 more weeks!

I made these worksheets to learn bit more about Punxsutawney Phil (and his relatives :)
