I hold a very high regard for the Groundhog Day tradition. After all, thee official groundhog authority, Punxsuatawny Phil is from Gobbler's Knob, PA. The residents there, and around the state, heck.. around the country! - take the little groundhog's recommendation of an early spring or a longer winter very seriously.
Nick's class wrote short paragraphs about the Groundhog. The teacher chose to hang their stories in the classroom for a little while, so it was just sent home in the Friday Folders last week. I thought it was great and wanted to share.
How to Wake a Groundhog - by Nicholas Johnston
If you want to wake a groundhog you must follow these steps. First you need Ranch salad dressing from the refrigerator, two onions, two tomatoes and two plates. Next you need a bag of pretzels. Then you get a batch of apples. You put everything on the plate and after that go to his cave and dump the pretzel salad down the hole so he can smell it and wake up. If you follow thee steps the groundhog will wake up. And that's how you wake a groundhog when he is sleeping.
