Groundhog Day Math and Literacy

Run these Groundhog Day activities on February 2 and your class gets math, reading and writing out of one current event. Kids vote on whether the groundhog will see its shadow and graph the results, then survey friends and color fractions in halves, quarters, fifths and sixths. A short close reading passage with five vocabulary words and four response questions rounds it out! Use it for 2nd to 5th grade centers, small groups or a February morning.

• Class vote graph: Students vote, graph the results and answer questions about the graph.
• Fraction survey: Kids color fractions to show how their friends answered.
• Reading passage: A short Groundhog Day activities passage with five vocabulary words and questions.
