Can you scramble them?




Pigwidgeon is determined that Spring has sprung. She has 4 eggs so far, and continues to sit on them like a chicken. We have tried to convince her that they will not hatch, but she is still hopeful.

Happy Groundhog New Year

The boys were actually excited about the outcome of the groundhog's venture out of his hole. We read Groundhog Day by Gail Gibbons and Gregory's Shadow by Don Freeman in anticipation of the big event. We have been studying hibernation and animals in winter, so it was a great tie-in. We celebrated the day by eating Chinese food for lunch and observing the lunar new year. We also packed another box of goodies for a soldier and sent it off, hopefully in time for Valentine's Day.
