Our winter solstice celebration!


We had a fun time welcoming in WINTER! We learned about the winter solstice and read our books by flashlight to remind us that this day is the shortest day of the year which means the day with the least amount of sunlight! The good news is that the days will now start to get longer!
















The Shortest Day

Grade 1: Earth and Space Sciences


ESS1. Earth’s Place in the Universe

1-ESS1-1. Use observations of the Sun, Moon, and stars to describe that each appears to rise in one part of the sky, appears to move across the sky, and appears to set.

1-ESS1-2. Analyze provided data to identify relationships among seasonal patterns of change, including relative sunrise and sunset time changes, seasonal temperature and rainfall or snowfall patterns, and seasonal changes to the environment.

Clarification Statement:

·   Examples of seasonal changes to the environment can include foliage changes, bird migration, and differences in amount of insect activity.

I'll leave you with this joke:
Q. What do you call a snowman in the summer? A.  A puddle!
