Candlemas and Groundhog's Day

We celebrated Candlemas and Groundhog's Day today!  We discussed the origins of the holidays and read a verse from Earthschooling's 1st grade curriculum about Candlemas from the Middle Ages.

We sang our own song that we like to sing during circle time, "Little Candle".
Little candle burning bright
You are such a pretty sight

Show us all your shining light

Little candle burning bright

We drew candles with oil pastels.

Then, we played a round of Groundhog's Day "shadow tag" (also from Earthschooling).

And folded a new window star for the front door, embracing the light in Winter.
