Groundhog's Day + Students' Predictions = A "Will Spring Come Early?" Line Plot
This week students at Washington were polled as to whether or not THE groundhog would see his shadow (6 more weeks of winter) or not see his shadow (an early spring). They converted their votes into a line plot. The key shows that each groundhog equals two votes for spring.
Based on the line plot, it looks like Washington School students are in agreement with the groundhog. We, too, predict an early spring! Bring it on! We are ready!
