Anyone else doing a study on Groundhog Day?

We are using Groundhog Day by HOAC (http://www.handsofachild.com/shop/Groundhog-Day-Ebook-P531.aspx) and it is wonderful! By doing this lapbook, we are working on copy work, science, geography, arts, and more. I am even learning! That is one (one of many) reasons I LOVE homeschooling!

Just had to share. And wanted to see if there was other neat Groundhog Day activities/studies going on around here. ;)

Only 4 more days until Groundhog Day!:D

one year my older dd sent out Groundhog Day cards to her friends.

They didn't get it. Clearly they were not the kindred spirits dd thought they were:rolleyes:

Back when we were hsing, B.I. (Before Internet) it would not have ocurred to me to do an actual study. I mean, we could have gone to the library and researched, but I wasn't creative enough to do that, lol.

I will be watching "Groundhog Day," though. Does that count?:D

I clicked on the link for the e-book on Groundhog Day...do I need to order two since I have two boys? $12 is a great price for this but I am not sure I want to do $24 for just a couple days of supplemental learning. It looks great though.

Oh yes, that counts. :D

Sending out cards, is a neat thought... hum... wonder if I am up to that task... They could each make a card for 1 friend and address them, etc. Hum... Do I have the time????:o

Thanks so much for sharing.

Nope you just need to purchase 1 and then make 2 copies of the graphics on colored paper (I like 24 lb paper).

HINT: to save a little off the $12, download the ebook catalog. Once you do, use the coupon codes to get a discount. There is one in there for 10% off your entire order and you can save a buck :) & there are other neat coupons if you want to purchase more down the road.

PS: My son is pictured on the cover of the catalog! :D

We're reading books about Groundhog day at our Friday Enrichment group. We are also going to act out the experience of groundhog day and do the hokey pokey too.

Does that count?:)

Dd and I looked it up on Wikipedia the other day, but that's about it.

It would be English, social sciences, and fine arts for the day;)
