Groundhog Day 土拨鼠日
sugar bush 枫糖林
Groundhog Day is on February 2. On that day, a small animal called a groundhog comes out of a hole in the ground. If it sees its shadow, then spring won’t come for another 6 weeks. But if the groundhog does not see its shadow, then spring is very close. How does a groundhog know？It doesn’t！It’s just a very old tradition in North America.
Culture Tip
What clothes do you wear in spring

THINK ABOUT IT
Dear Wang Mei,
It isn’t snowing today, but there is still snow on the grass. In Edmonton, the weather in March can be cold and snowy or warm and sunny. It’s a little wild. The temperature can be as low as －15℃, but it can also reach 15℃. Still, sometimes it snows in April and May! The temperature drops below zero on those snowy days. We probably won’t see any flowers until May or June!
After school today, we played outside. We played “snow” soccer. We had to wear our jackets and boots, but it was fun. Danny fell into the snow! Maybe next month we will play in our shorts and T -shirts!
I like the Chinese name for winter jasmine. It’s interesting. Here, we have Groundhog Day on February 2 for the coming of spring. In spring, many families drive to the countryside on weekends. A popular place to go is a sugar bush. It’s so much fun to make syrup.
I love spring because of all the fun activities. Also, summer follows it!
Talk to you soon!
