Description
Class Experience
Students will learn why the winter solstice occurs using vocabulary words such as, orbit, axial tilt, hemisphere, equator, solstice, vernal and autumnal equinox.
Ms. Nora has been teaching children about the science of the winter solstice for many years both in the public and virtual school setting. She has her Masters Degree in Special Education and therefor has become adept at breaking down complex concepts for young audiences through hands on learning, storytelling and play.
There is no homework for this class. Materials will be provided after class to review and reinforce the learning at home.
Paper, crayons, colored pencils, or markers.
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
The NASA website and the book The Shortest Day by Susan Cooper provide source material for the curriculum. These resources have helped me gain knowledge but will not be used in class. Students will be provided with handouts that have been designed by me and are a part of my personal curriculum from The Montessori ReStore.
