Happy Friday, y'all!

Today's Leader is...Murray the Groundhog!  Groundhogs and woodchucks are the same animal.  Here's a fun story about groundhogs! Groundhog's Dilemma


Today is May 22, 2020.

Murray and Darla have been learning some new words in French:

groundhog: marmotte (MAR-mott)

Try these!  Add commas wherever they are needed.

1. Tomorrow will be May 23 2020.
2. The groundhog ate my tomatoes pumpkins and corn.
3. Groundhog Day will be February 2 2021.
