brown day.

Thursday was not only groundhog's day, it was {brown} day!  Hmm...somebody may have orchestrated that on purpose.

We made these cute Cara Carroll inspired burrows and added a writing piece.  {How adorable is all of her stuff?!}  But then, because I couldn't help thinking the burrows looked like bladders {bad cutting skills?!} I added fringe to the top.  It looks like grass, right?  RIGHT???

We also created cute little groundhog ears {sentence strip with 2 construction paper ears!} and practiced popping up out of the ground.  If you missed it, you can watch the actual proclamation online:

We had pretzel sticks for a brown snack and shared our hints for the brown items we brought from home.

Then we made these ah-dor-a-ble football players from A Cupcake for the Teacher to write about the Superbowl.  After all, what color is a football anyway?

Totally worth the $1 purchase.  There are 4 different writing prompts and, while the pieces take some time to cut out, they were completely worth it.  I took some major slack from my staff trying to figure out how to represent the teams {hello...they're both blue!} but finally figured it out thanks to Superbowl.com.  And my coworker heckling.

Cute cute sideline fans no matter which team you choose to root for!
