Language:

An idiom is a phrase or group of words with a meaning that can’t be defined word-for-word.

What does the underlined idiom mean?

The people of Punxatawney, Pennsylvania planned many outdoor activities to celebrate Groundhog Day. The forecast was for rain turning to snow. The mayor said, “We're not cancelling a single event. The show must go on.”

Math:

Last year, 32,354 people waited for Punxsytawney Phil to come out of his burrow to see or not see his shadow. This year, 34,693 people were there. How many more people came out for Phil in the last two years?

Teachable Moment:

Does your class celebrate the 100th Day of School? It is about this time of year for many schools. Some classes celebrate by collecting different items in groups of 100’s, for instance, 100 pennies to make a dollar!

Fun Fact:

Did you know that Dalmatians are born without spots? That’s right – the puppies stay pure white until they are about one week old. Then the black dots they are famous for begin to come out!
