Teaching Tips & Strategies-WINTER
The winter solstice marks the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the time when the earth is tilted on its axis in such a way that the North Pole is slanted away from the sun, giving us less sunlight. On the first day of winter (either December 21st or 22nd) we experience the longest day of the year. From then on, the days begin to get longer

Blizzard Attack!

A teacher's guide is included.
