Winter Solstice

Mrs. Heins' Kindergarten class has been studying the Arctic.  They found out that there are times in the year that there are 24 hours of darkness (around the Winter Solstice) and 24 hours of daylight (around the Summer Solstice).  They didn't understand why, so our class visited their Winter Solstice party and taught them all about the tilt of the Earth and how that causes 24 hours of darkness and daylight.

What a great way to share our own learning from our space inquiry!
