Happy President's Day!

In this video, a student explains president's day.  I like that she speaks slowly and clearly.

  (I don't like that she sounds so young,)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day was a big deal when I was in elementary school.  Every student in the class made or bought "valentines"--paper greeting cards -- for every other student in the class.  Students often gave out candy too.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Did you see the movie, "Groundhog Day?"  Did you enjoy it?

Groundhog Day

Today is Groundhog Day.  According to superstition, if the groundhog sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter.  If not, there will be an early Spring.    (My father-in-law loved to say that it was either six weeks or a month-and-a-half)  The official groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, didn't see his shadow.  He predicted an early spring!
