This blog contains information for Mrs. Pluta's classes at the Lorain County JVS. It is hoped that Our Classroom Connection will keep students engaged in class discussion outside the school day.

Leap Day
February 29th is known as Leap Day. During most years, February only has 28 days. Once every four years, an extra day is added to February. We need to add this day because our calendar is six hours shorter than the solar year. Instead of adding six hours each year, we simply add an extra day every four years. I guess that is a little easier!
it would suck to be born on feb. 29 you would rareley have a bday
ReplyDeleteI still do not get the point of a leap year. Also does anyone that has there birthday on 29 only have there birthday every four years.
