El solsticio de verano- 4 hechos fascinantes y 1 aviso….

¡Empaque un picnic y salga al aire libre para disfrutar los días cálidos con brisa fresca de junio! El sol nos está sonriendo cada día un poquito más.

4 hechos fascinantes:

  • Mientras la tierra viaja alrededor del sol, se inclina en un ángulo. Un ángulo de 23.44 grados para ser preciso. Esta inclinación significa que a veces estamos apuntados hacia el sol y a veces estamos apuntados en la dirección contraria.
  • El día del solsticio de verano el Polo Norte está más cerca del sol. Vemos y sentimos la luz del sol por más horas durante el día, otorgándonos días más largos y cálidos y noches más cortas.
  • En el día del solsticio de verano el sol llegará a su punto más alto en nuestro cielo. Por eso es el día más largo del año.
  • En 6 meses cuando la tierra haya completado la mitad de su viaje alrededor del sol, nuevamente nuestros días serán más frescas y cortas y llegará el invierno.

1 aviso:

  • Cuídese de que sus niños no miren directamente al sol. El sol es tan brillante que puede lastimar los ojos.

¿Qué quiere decir solsticio?

La palabra solsticio procede del latín, el idioma de la antigua Roma. En latín las palabras “sol” + “sistere” significan el aparente inmovilidad del sol. En los días justo antes y después del solsticio de verano el sol parece quedar sin moverse en el cielo.

Muchos idiomas usan un variante de la palabra latín “sol”. En francés soleil quiere decir sol. En italiano sole quiere decir sol.

KITS REQUIREMENTS

Coaching and Videotaping

KITS uses ongoing coaching to support educators in the implementation of the model. We do this through viewing groups on video, weekly team meetings, and fidelity monitoring. Your team will record KITS School Readiness and Parent Groups and upload each session to a secure online platform (such as Box.com). The videos are only used as a means to support KITS staff. We promise it’s not scary!

Your KITS team will meet every week to talk about what is working well and areas where you may be experiencing challenges. During these meetings, teams and coaches will work together to problem-solve challenges, offer support and encouragement, and celebrate successes!

If parents or students do not wish to be recorded, they can be seated out of view or for online parent groups they may turn off their cameras.
