Groundhog Day Must Read Mentor Text

Happy February! I love February because there are so many special days to celebrate, and one of my favorites is Groundhog Day! I've loved Groundhog Day since I was little. Waking up and watching the news to hear if the groundhog saw his shadow was always so exciting! :) Even though his predictions were often inaccurate, it was still fun!

A few years ago, I found the cutest book to read to my students on Groundhog Day (which is tomorrow, February 2nd!). It's called Groundhog Weather School by Joan Holub. It's definitely engaging and entertaining, but it hits on tons of important science skills too!

The story is written from the groundhogs and other characters' points of view, and it is told through speech bubbles. It quickly captures the students' attention!

In the story, Professor Groundhog opens up a Groundhog Weather School to teach groundhogs all over North America to predict the weather. The groundhogs learn all about what it means to be a groundhog, weather, shadows, seasons, and more. 

If you teach about weather, this book is a great way to introduce or review important weather topics. It also teaches about why we have different seasons and the Earth's tilt and orbit- ties in perfectly with our solar system unit!

The groundhogs experiment with shadows and learn how the form. This is great review if you teach about light energy!

There's also a page with facts about famous groundhogs around the United States and Canada!

This is such a fun book for Groundhog Day! I hope you and your students enjoy it!

Happy Groundhog Day tomorrow!!!  Have a great week!

Gravity and a Freebie {A Must Read Science Mentor Text}

Hi! I'm excited to share a quick Must Read Mentor Text for Science!

It's called Gravity by Jason Chin. It's great for introducing or reviewing the concept of gravity for students in grades 2-5.

I would use this book at the beginning of my unit on the solar system.  It uses simple language and beautiful illustrations to help students understand the importance of gravity and how it affects everything around us. 

At the end of the book, there are a couple pages with great facts about gravity. 

You could have your students make a class book about gravity. I always loved making class books! We would laminate and bind the completed pages and then put it in our class library so the kids could read it anytime for review. To make the class book, put the students into groups and assign each group a different concept about gravity to illustrate. For example, one group could do "more mass, more gravity" or "gravity keeps it all together." After students create their pages, you can laminate them and bind them together into a book. 

I've also created an interactive notebook flip book that you can use with students to record facts they learn about gravity. Students just paste it in to their science notebooks and write under the flaps. Click the image below to download this FREEBIE.

I hope you have a great week!
