Poem

Four SeasonsSpringtime is a green time

When seedlings start their growing.Summertime’s a rainbow time

When many blooms are blowing.Autumntime’s a brown time

When seeds are ripe for sowing;But wintertime’s a white time(It’s the flower’s nighttime)

When stars of frost are glowingThis poem was by Rowena Bennett

Facts about Seasons

The Earth has four seasons. Seasons are the changes in the

weather that last for a certain period of time.

How Seasons Occur

The Earth is always moving around the Sun and is always spinning even though we cannot feel it.

Because the Earth is spinning parts of the Earth are closer to the Sun and and other parts are farther away from the Sun at one given time.

The Earth is tilted to the side just slightly as it turns.

This causes the Earth to have seasons.

The Seasons Move In Order

Winter

Spring

Summer

Fall

Winter

Temperatures tend to be colder in the winter versus the other seasons.

The part of the Earth that experiences winter is the part that is tilted and turned far away from the Sun.

In the winter the weather tends to have snow and ice. Tree branches look bare and some animals to go into

hibernation. The days become short and nights become long. Even though you may be experiencing winter there

are other people across the world experiencing summer at the same time.

Poem

IceWhen it is winter time

I run up the streetAnd I make the ice laugh

With my little feet-“Crickle, crackle, crickle

Crrreeet, crrreeet, crrreeet.”This poem was by Dorthy Aldis

It was taken from Sung Under the Silver Umbrella, by the

Macmillan Company.

Spring

Temperatures increase compared to winter and days grow longer.

Flowers burst into bloom and buds appear on branches of trees.

Grass becomes green again. Animals start to come out of

hibernation.

Clothing for the Spring

The weather starts off cooler because of the winter temperatures but then becomes warmer. Because of the temperature differences there is a variety of clothing worn.

Sometimes pants and sweatshirts

Sometimes shorts and a t-shirt

Fun in the Spring

Flying a kite Gardening Picking flowers Swinging Fishing Jump rope Riding bicycles

Poem

Kite DaysA kite a sky, and a good firm breeze,

And acres of ground away from the trees,

And one hundred yards of clean, strong string-

O boy, O boy! I call that Spring!

This poem is by Mark SawyerThis was taken from Sing a Song of Seasons

Summer

Insects come out and buzz from leaf to flower.

Birds nest are hidden by green leaves on trees. Baby birds are in these nests.

The days are hot, sunny, and long At this time the Earth is tilted and facing the

towards the Sun While you may be having summer someone

else across the world is having winter at the same time.

Clothing for the Summer

Shorts T-shirts Sandals Sneakers Sunglasses to keep the

sun out of our eyes Sun Screen (it is

important to wear this when you are in contact with the sun)

Bathing Suits

Fun in the Summer

Swimming Mowing the Lawn Watering bushes and

Flowers Washing the car Sailing Playing outdoor sports Camping out Playing in a wading pool

Poem

SniffWhen school is out, we love to follow

our noses over a hill and hollow,smelling jewelweed and vetch,

sniffing fern and milkweed patch.

The air fifth of our five sensesleads us under, over, fences.

We run like rabbits through bright hoursand poke our noses into flowers!This poem is by Frances Frost

It was taken from Sing and Seasons

Fall

Fall is the season where leaves fall off trees and change colors.

Another name for Fall is Autumn. Leaves are the colors Red, Orange, Yellow,

and Brown. Birds nests are empty and dry leaves crunch

beneath your feet. Crops are harvested and days become

shorter

Clothes for the Fall

Pants Sweatshirt or

Sweater Jackets

Fun in the Fall

Raking leaves Jumping in piles of

leaves Picking apples Taking hikes Playing football Canoeing

Autumn WoodsAutumn Woods

I like the woodsIn autumn

When dry leaves hide the ground,When the trees are bareAnd the wind sweeps by

With the lonesome rushing sound.

I can rustle the leavesIn autumn

And I can make a bedIn the thick dry leaves

That have fallenFrom the bare trees

Overhead.
