Happy Dino Day!

Today being Groundhog Day, our class spent some time learning about the legend, watching footage of Punxatawney Phil making his prognostication (Phil and I are not friends today), and talking about whether this day is based upon science or is simply a fun tradition.  Following the lesson I challenged my students to come up with their own legend to explain any weather event they could think of.  All I know is...I want no part of Dino Day.

Do you know why we dont have Dino Day?  It's because it's dangerouse.  It's the worst day ever.  It isn't a good day.  It's a bad day.  I hate Dino Day.  It's the worst holiday ever. 

I'm not sure what kind of weather pattern is involved with Dino Day, but I know I never want to find out.
