Mrs. Bean's Kindergarten

Welcome to my classroom blog. I am a Full Day Kindergarten teacher at Corpus Christi School in Ottawa,Ontario. I hope this classroom blog will be a useful tool for parents to stay up to date with what is cool and happening in kindergarten! Please take some time to explore. I have posted links to some interesting reads about the kindergarten child. You will also find links to various educational online games and reading and math tips that support the learning we are doing in the classroom.

Groundhog Day Predictions - January 31st

With Ground Hog Day just around the corner, we took some time today to chat about what Ground Hog Day was all about.  We used our Smartboard to google all of the groundhog meteorologists around...Wiarton Willie, Shubenacadie Sam and  Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil.


 
At the end of the day seven students felt that Wiarton Willie would see his shadow, predicting another 6 weeks of winter.  Fourteen students voted, "NO", Wiarton Willie would not see his shadow and predict an early spring.  Well..... take a look at the links below.  You may wish you were living on the East Coast.  Shubenacadie Sam's prediction was much more favourable!
