Seasons and Weather

Recently we have been learning about season and the weather.  We have read books on different weather types and the season and done several seasons related activities.  Below are some season activities we completed with a description of the activity.

These bulletin boards show the seasons display we created.  We took 4 days to explore each season.  We read about the season, did shared writing projects on the season, a journal writing and created a symbol for the season.  Students made squirrels for fall, snowmen for winter, flowers for spring, and popsicle for summer.  The fine arts activity helped them to practice their fine motor skills in the form of drawing shapes and cutting, as well as shape recognition, and we talked about colors as we worked as well.  The students are very proud of their work, as am I.

Below is an activity we did with the book It Looked Like Spilt Milk.  There is another post that goes into detail about this activity.

We also learned about weather.  After reading about the seasons we talked about all the types of weather that we have during the seasons and students created weather charts.  They picked 4 types of weather and then students pointed the pointer at the weather they liked the best.
