Introduction
Hi, Everybody!Today we are going to learn seasons and months.Think about what season is your favorite and think about why it is. Is it because of temperature?Is it because of clothes that you wear?
Task
Now,we will divide each student in classroom into four different groups and Each group will have different season.Then, we are going to watch a video. While each group watch video,they will take note features of their own seasons.
Process
First we must take some time to study each season!
Winter: Shorter Days, it gets dark earlier. We will have snow, ice, and very cold weather. Some of the holidays we celebrate include Valentine's Day, New Year's
Winter Activities:Include ice skating, sledding, doing snowman. Have you ever done any of this before?
Months:December, January, February
Spring: "Spring showers bring May Flowers." We may see some rain.It is getting much warmer. Our clocks "spring" ahead and we now have longer days. We will see beautiful flowers. Gardening and outside play are great Spring activites.
Spring Holidays:Mother's Day
Months:March, April, May
Summer: Kids are out of school for the Summer. It is very hot in the Summer. Summer activities include swimming, Summer camps, family vacations, etc.
Summer Holidays:Father's Day
Months:June, July, August
Fall or Autumn:The clocks fall back, the days are shorter. The weather is cooler. The leaves are changing into beautiful colors and falling off of the trees.
