Groundhog Day Fun

Monday, February 2nd marks the 128th Groundhog Day. The first one was celebrated back in 1887 at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The tradition says that if the groundhog comes out of his hole and sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t see he shadow it means there will be an early spring.

Whether or not you buy into the whole idea of a rodent predicting the weather, there are fun activities you can do with your family that center on this quirky holiday.

The Gift of Personalized Reading Time

Children love having stories read to them by the special people in their lives. They enjoy the closeness that comes from the time spent together and they learn so much about the world around them through books. Through books, children learn good communication skills, they learn the rhythm and cadence of language and they learn higher level thinking skills. 

In addition, there is a special value in having children read books about themselves.  Reading a personalized story teaches children about their own uniqueness, and promotes a positive self-esteem, along with an early love of reading.
