he first activity (Grade 1-4) allows students to predict if Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow. This activity uses a neat little table trick developed by yours truly that will make words magically appear after the students drag their choice into the table. When the students are finished, they count the number and then write down the percent for each choice. Teachers will need to change the student names in the table and also duplicate the page as many times as necessary. (Idea inspired by Silvia Tolisano on her blog Langwitches)
The second activity (Grade 1 - 4) is a fun little puzzle of a groundhog developed by Jeni F. after she took my Groundhog PuzzleNotebook Applications - Create a Puzzle course.
The third activity (Grade K-2) was also created by Jeni F. and it let's students guess the different parts of a groundhog.
The last activity (Grade 3-6) is a Punxsutawney Phil trivia game with ten questions. Students touch on the answer they think is correct. If they get it right, the answer will begin to flash.

MapSkip makes the world a canvas for our stories and photos.
It is an ancient human instinct to share our life stories with others, as the paintings and hand prints in stone-age caves show.
And many of our stories are about places. Where we fell in love, had the dream vacation, took that great picture or, well, joined the rebellion. And then there are the many other places that anchor our lives - where we live, eat, work and have fun.
Join the MapSkip community in exploring the world through shared stories, pictures, videos and sound recordings about all the places in our lives.
History
MapSkip.com is the brainchild of Kazumi Atsuta and Thomas Sturm and was launched in August 2007.
Purpose
The purpose of MapSkip.com is to create a weave of stories about the places in our lives. Users are invited to create a free account and to mark up places in Google Maps with their own stories and photos. Users can browse each other's stories and can rate and discuss them.
MapSkip is free to use and free of ads. We have strong feelings about sites that bother their users, and MapSkip strives to be different. MapSkip will never run ad banners, however we may feature sponsored stories (which will be marked accordingly) at some point in the future. Enable additional features for teachers
As a teacher you can create additional student accounts that will be tied to your email address. You can create as many student accounts as necessary and limit the information visible to other MapSkip users and the Internet public. These features are available through the My Passport page once this account has been created.Using Sqworl to shorten links does two things: first, it helps you organize a series of links under one short URL, and second, it provides a series of site thumbnails - a lightbox of sorts - so recipients can see what they're getting before they click
