Lots of learning is happening in our classroom to get ready for the winter solstice. We have been noticing the dark days leading up to the solstice, and learning about how the earth's patterns around the sun cause day and night, and also about the tilt of the earth and how that relates to the pattern of seasons. Students are working hard to understand more about these patterns in the sky, including a little bit about the moon's rotation around earth and the patterns it creates.
