Le Jour de la Marmotte: A French Content-Related Unit for Groundhog Day



groundhog
It’s never too early to start planning for Groundhog Day!  At least that’s what I always say.  I just published a new elementary French unit for le Jour de la Marmotte. You’ll receive four lesson plans to pick and choose from: seasonal groundhog activities, famous groundhogs, flashlight shadows, and weather.

I created or modified some songs and fingerplays for the groundhog unit.  As a supplement to the paper download, I prepared this video to demonstrate the gestures and melodies.  Click here to view it:  French Groundhog Unit Video

The 4-lesson download is available for purchase.  Click here.
