Mini Lesson
Have you noticed that some days are hot and sunny, while others are cold and snowy? The weather changes throughout the year in a pattern we call the four seasons, and each season lasts about three months.
Spring — warm and rainy
- Spring comes after winter. The air gets warmer and rain falls often.
- Flowers bloom, trees grow new leaves, and baby animals are born.
- Example: You see tulips blooming and puddles after spring showers.
Summer — hot and sunny
- Summer is the hottest season. Days are long and there is plenty of sunshine.
- Children swim, plants grow tall, and sometimes there are thunderstorms.
Fall / Autumn — cool and windy
- In fall the air cools down and leaves on trees change color and fall off.
- Days get shorter and the wind picks up. We start wearing warmer clothes.
Winter — cold and snowy
- Winter is the coldest season. In many places it snows and ponds may freeze.
- Days are short and dark. We wear coats, hats, and gloves to stay warm.
- Some animals hibernate and many trees have no leaves.
