Weather During the Changing Seasons

Hello again Parents!

This week, the class is learning about how the weather changes with the seasons. Your children enjoy talking about how leaves change color outside of our classroom window. What a great time to learn about our seasons!

What are the four seasons?

1. Autumn (Fall)
2. Winter
   
3. Spring
4. Summer

What happens in autumn?

• leaves change color and fall off trees
• weather starts getting colder
• pumpkins are harvested
• children start the school year

What happens in the winter?

• it begins to snow
• we celebrate different holidays
• the plants hibernate and store energy for the spring
• we wear warm clothes

What happens in the spring?

• it rains more often
• begins to get warmer
• flowers grow
• leaves on trees grow
• animals come out from hibernation

What happens in the summer?

• it is very sunny
• we go swimming
• we have a break from school

This lesson is required by the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills). In class, we have been reading and writing about the autumn season. We also went on a leave hunt to collect leaves that have fallen from the trees!

At the Seasons Puzzle Place, you and your child can choose which season puzzle you would like to do. These puzzles are very kid friendly and fun!

At the Matching Picture site, children place which season each picture will go in. It is very colorful and interactive. Hope you do not "fall" for any tricks!

Enjoy your musical talent at the Songs and Poems site. Here is where you can learn more about each season in a fun way. You can also sing and rhyme! Hope you have a good time! :)

At the Weather Wiz site, test your brain by playing the weather memory game! Flip the cards until you find all of the matches. Don't let a mistake "rain" on your parade!

Hope you had fun this week! Your children have been doing an amazing job in the classroom learning about these scientific concepts. Next, we will be exploring our earth's natural resources. Keep up the good work!
