<\/a>Groundhogs eat lots and lots before winter.\u00a0 Then they make a hole, get in their hole, plug up their nest and the hole, and then they go to sleep.\u00a0 And they snore like this “ashoo, ashooo.”\u00a0 Their body temperature goes down really low. How long does it go to?\u00a0 (Momma remembered that Miss Krista said about 37 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/p>\nWe made a fun goody, learned a new song, and pretended we were groundhogs. We learned that “Punxsutawney Phil” jumped out of his hole and when he saw his shadow, said “Winter’s not over for six more weeks!”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nHe’s popping up to look around.
\nIf he sees his shadow, down he’ll go.
\nThen six more weeks of winter – Oh No!!<\/p>\n
