Groundhog Day: seeing your shadow

(WTNH) - Groundhog Day is February 2nd and it's the perfect time to teach your kids about weather prognosticating, and everything from shadows to burrows.

Jan Doyle with Classroom Connections 365 gives a few fun suggestions for Groundhog Day activities to do with your kids including the following:

• Go outside and see if you can see your shadow.
• Use household items including wax paper, a paper towel, clear plastic bag, and a plastic dish to find out what items cast a shadow.
• Record your findings in a journal and keep a running record of your data.
• Purchase or make a groundhog puppet.
• Create an underground burrow.
