Groundhog Day is celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2nd. On this day, the groundhog will come out from its burrow. If the groundhog does not see its shadow and stays above ground, winter will soon end. If the groundhog does see its shadow, the groundhog will go back into its burrow and there will be 6 more weeks of winter.
The largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. As many as 40,000 people from all over the United States will gather to celebrate. They watch Phil, the Groundhog, as he emerges from his burrow after a long winter's hibernation.
Do you want winter to end soon or would you like 6 more weeks of winter? Why?

I would like winter to stay so it could snow more in Dallas. I would like it so I could throw a snowball at my sister. I could sled. I like to throwing snowball at people. I don't like the sun. I like swimming though.
I would want winter to end soon because I love spring and I like to play outside.
Bela,what do you do outside?
I would like spring to come because I don't like the cold. I hate layering clothes and wearing jeans. But I love wearing skirts.
I would like six more weeks of witer because I might be able to build a snowman.I really like snow.

I want spring to come because in winter it's freezing cold.I also want spring to come because you can play outsie.
Sarah and Bela, good job addressing each other and starting a conversation. :)
Isabella, I really feel like going to the U.P pool with you.
Isabella and Sarah, by the way the slide isn't ours it's for the older grades like fourth grade and over I think. Soon the slide will be ours.
I agree with you Anderw
I would like 6 more of winter because I like snuggleing with my mom and dad.
