The Reasons for Seasons!

Today Room 221 began to learn about the cause for the different seasons we experience year after year. With help from the book The Reasons for Seasons by Gail Gibbons, we learned that the seasons change depending on the Earth's relation to the sun. To help us understand better, we pretended a flashlight was the sun and used a globe to see the different positions of the Earth depending on the season. Be sure to ask your children why it is so cold in the Winter and so warm in the Summer!
