READING Groundhog Day Groundhog Day is a national holiday celebrated every year on February 2. Each year, people all over the country wait to see if the groundhog sees his shadow. The tradition started hundreds of years ago when people did not have television or computers to predict the weather. People relied on hibernating animals, such as groundhogs, to predict whether or not spring was on the way. These people believed that if hibernating animals were coming out of their hideaways, spring must be coming soon. The most famous groundhog is Punxsutawney Phil. He lives in Pennsylvania. On February 2, Phil comes out of his burrow. If he sees his shadow, it is believed that winter will last for six more weeks. If he does not see his shadow, many think that winter is coming to an end, and it s time for spring. The groundhog is not always right, but people still wait to see what he will predict. There are celebrations all over the country, and many other states have their own groundhog to predict the weather. Are you ready for spring? 1

Each year, Presidents Day is celebrated on the third Monday of February. This holiday started in the 1800, a year after George Washington s death. Originally, the holiday was celebrated in honor of George Washington. The month of February was chosen because Washington was born on February 22.
