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
