Will Spring Come Early, or is Winter Here to Stay? It's Groundhog Day!

February 2, 2017

By the time February rolls around, it feels like spring just can't come soon enough (unless you're a ski addict like some folks at the Bridges office). But for everyone longing for winter to be done already, today's a big day! It's Groundhog Day! According to folklore, if the groundhog emerges today and sees his shadow, spring will come early. But if the groundhog notices his shadow, we still have over a month of winter weather.

To mark the occasion, we've drafted up some free symbolized resources for your classroom all in Widgit Online.
