Total lunar eclipse will take place this Monday... and Monday is an important day, because the northern hemisphere is receiving the shortest amount of sunlight. This day (the day with the shortest amount of sunlight) is known as the the winter solstice.
Monday is also our next full moon!
I am looking forward to start the 2012-2013 school year and meeting everyone. If you have questions about anything we are doing in class, feel free to contact me! My classroom phone number is (920) 876-3105 ext. 4210
