Celebrating Winter Weather!

Winter is here! December 21st is the first day of winter, also known as the winter solstice. During the winter solstice, the sun travels the shortest path through the sky, resulting in the shortest day of sunlight. Celebrate winter weather this week with crafts, books, videos, and more!
