The world around us is constantly changing. For centuries, we have evolved, and our surroundings have evolved around us. With each passing decade, our lives become more entangled with technology and science. We stray further and further away from nature. However, no matter how advanced our lives become, we can never completely erase nature and its roles in our lives. Nature is the ultimate decider, and our lives are directly and indirectly controlled by it. One such example is the different seasons of the year. The Earth's revolution causes a change in seasons. Seasons are a very integral part of our lives as it greatly affects our lifestyle and habits. People's habits change from season to season. In this article, we will learn about seasons in English, how they affect us, poems and songs and more!

A season is a period of the year that is distinguished by special weather and climate conditions. Seasons vary in different hemispheres of the world. Children from a young age start to notice the different characteristics of each season.

You may notice that some months are really warm while some months are really cold. You sit under fans for some while you shield yourself with umbrellas for others. Depending on who you ask, they will give you a different definition for seasons. Some may define it on the basis of environmental changes, some may define it on the basis of produce (fruits and vegetables) changes, and some may even define it on the basis of academic years, for instance, "My school starts in the fall, and we get our summer vacations in May." However, a standard definition of seasons for kids is:

As the year goes on, there are changes in the weather and climate of a place. This change is divided into four parts, and they are called seasons. There are mainly 4 seasons of the year -

Children are very curious by nature. They first start by observing things and then asking questions about them. This is generally the same case for seasons too. Your child will first start learning about seasons by merely noticing the change in the environment and in habits. When we say habits, we mean seasonal habits. Your child may notice that during a few months in the year, everyone wears warm woollen clothes, while in other months, everyone enjoys sitting in an AC with some ice cream. Your child may start by asking you about these differences. Remember to always encourage your little one to ask questions about their surroundings. Teach them about the seasons whenever they ask. Pictures and videos, as well as real-life examples, would be your best teaching aids. Your child will be curious, and they will want to know more. However, always remember to make any form of learning fun and exciting for your little one. This encourages them to learn more efficiently!

It is very important to teach your little one about seasons as it is one of the most fundamental concepts about the environment and their surroundings they should know. You can refer to a chart of seasons for preschool to teach your child about the four seasons with images.

Below is an introduction to the 4 seasons with pictures and names:

1. Spring Season

Spring marks the beginning of the blooming of flowers. The temperatures are slightly chilly, and the daylight hours become longer than they were in winter. It may also be windy or chilly sometimes.

2. Summer Season

Summer season is when the temperature increases and it becomes hot. People enjoy cool breezes and ice creams to keep themselves cool during this season. It is also the season when you get ripe mangoes!

3. Autumn Season

Autumn marks the transition towards winter. Animals go into hibernation, and the trees start shedding their leaves in preparation for winter. The days become shorter, and the temperatures become chilly.

4. Winter Season

Winter is the white season! The temperature becomes very cold, and the daylight becomes even less. In some countries, the sun sets before 4 pm! It also snows in some places.

Teach your children all about the four seasons, here are charts for weather and seasons of the year!

1. Poem For Spring

Spring's Promise

2. Poem For Summer

Summer-time

Oh, I want to hear grasshoppers scraping Their complaints upon their hind legs And see all the winged things mating. Nesting and laying their eggs.

3. Poem On Autumn

Autumn Fires

By: Robert Louis Stevenson

In the other gardens And all up in the vale, From the autumn bonfires See the smoke trail!

4. Poem On Winter

Winter Is Back Again

And then we are back to winter again

The seasons are so certain!

1. Seasons Of The Year

Here comes the fall with the leaves changing color Here comes the fall with the climate getting cooler Here comes the fall with the leaves falling down Here comes the fall with the wind blowing loud

Here comes the winter with the ice and the snow
Here comes the winter with the freezing cold Here comes the winter with the days getting shorter Here comes the winter with the nights getting longer

And we watch the leaves as they fall!

Activities That Will Help Your Child Learn About Seasons Of The Year

To make the learning process more interesting, inculcate fun and exciting activities in the learning process. You can make learning fun! Below are a few activities that you can do with your little one to learn about seasons through activities for kindergarten

1. Play a game of season flashcards

Use season flashcards to help your child associate habits and climate with seasons.

Allow your child to express their creative side by drawing and painting different seasons.

3. Observe a year

Visual aids are the best, and what better than real seasons! Take a year to observe all the seasons and explain to your child all about them.

Popsicles for the summer, piles of leaves for autumn, a snowman for winter, and flowers for spring! If you can't make the actual thing, use clay dough.

Many festivals mark the beginning of seasons. Use these festivals as markers of the beginning of new seasons for your child.

1. What Are The Causes Of Change In Seasons?

Earth's tilted axis and its revolution cause the change in season.

2. Why Are Seasons Different All Around The World?

This is due to the Earth's tilted axis and the division of the Earth into different hemispheres. When the Earth's axis points towards the Sun, that hemisphere experiences summer and the other experiences winter, and vice versa.

Composing and decomposing numbers is a mathematical skill that should be introduced in Pre-K and further elaborated on in Kindergarten. It involves helping children break numbers down into sub-parts. A child who can compose and decompose numbers understands that 2 and 3 together makes 5. They will also know that 5 can be broken down to a 1 and a 4. When children get comfortable with single digit numbers (0-9), they are ready to move on to double digit and eventually triple digit numbers - which is called unitizing!

The best way to introduce composing and decomposing numbers to young children is to start off with simple visuals they can manipulate. I have three simple ideas that you can try.

This activity requires sectioned plastic plates, colored tape, number cards (or sticky notes) and manipulatives of your choice.

Using the colored tape, section off the plate with one large area and two smaller areas. Children are to place a number card in the largest section of the plate, count out that many manipulates and place them in the large section of the plate with the numeral.

Then the children need to split their manipulatives up in the smaller two sections to represent the number broken down into sub-parts.

Repeat this process showing the different ways to create the number.

Use plastic beads, pipe cleaners, masking tape and a marker to create number bracelets.

Place a specific number of beads on the pipe cleaner and connect the ends by twisting them to make a bracelet in the shape of a circle. Once the ends are twisted together, place a piece of tape around the twisted part. Leave a little bit of the tape hanging down to write the number of beads placed the bracelet.

The bracelets allow children to see the entire quantity and the quantity broken down into two parts when the beads are separated in different ways.

There is also an extension to this activity for children to represent their thinking. This is an important skill that children benefit from and will use as they approach math in older grades.

This first version is for Pre-K. Children will represent how numbers are broken down according to how their bracelet looks.

This second version is for Kindergarten. Children will represent how numbers are broken down according to how their bracelet looks and they will also add the number sentence below it.

With beads, pipe cleaner and styrofoam cups, you can easily create these visual to have children practice composing and decomposing numbers and quantities!

Write a number on the front of the cup then count out the same number of beads that you wrote on the cup. Cut a pipe cleaner in half and poke holes in the top of the cup.

String the beads on the pipe cleaner and place the ends of the pipe cleaner in the holes at the top of the cup.

And just like the your cup has been transformed into a great mathematical tool!

Each of these ideas give children a chance to see numbers as subparts and manipulate them! Try one or try all three! 😉

Happy Composing and Decomposing!

Having activities that engage your students in gross motor movement and an academic skill is such a fun and easy way to reach your preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten students. Gross motor movement is moving the large muscles in the body. It is so important for little learners to develop their large muscles to have strong fine motor muscles. Having strong fine motor muscles will help your students have better handwriting. Letter musical chairs for preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten students are also great for making handwriting fun for your more reluctant writers.

Setting up the letter musical chairs for your students. First, place magnet letters or a letter card on each dry-erase board with an eraser and marker for your number of children. If you write it, students will accidentally erase it. I place them around a large table that has enough room for all the boards and students. If you have a large number of players, you may need to split the students into smaller groups around multiple tables. Then, put the matching number of chairs as your players.

To play letter musical chairs, little learners walk and dance around the table while the music plays, working on their gross motor skills. I like to use Kidz Bop music since it has a strong beat, but any music will do. When the music stops, students find a seat and write the letter on their board. I have my little kids write it many times on the board.

When the music stops, students will write the letter that is on their board. If a student is struggling, you can go around and individually help students to make sure they are forming the letters correctly. Remember to keep letter musical chairs fun and not stressful!

You can have your students all write the same letter (the teacher models it, then students write it on their boards), everyone can write lowercase letters, or young children can work on uppercase letters. You can decide what your students need the most practice on. If you have older students, you can have them write sight words or vocabulary words. You can put different letters out each round or keep the letter cards the same for the game.

Don't need letter practice? Try writing numbers with your students during this fun game of musical chairs. You could also have your students draw the corresponding amount of objects too or fill a ten frame. This is a fun activity for all class sizes.

For number practice, I put giant magnet numbers on the whiteboards for students to practice writing. I walk around and make sure their formation is correct and help any students that are having trouble.

Another gameplay option is drawing shapes. Use shape manipulatives, magnet shapes, or shape cards for students to draw when they sit in that seat.

When you first begin to play letter musical chairs, kids will go the wrong way a lot, and you will need to remind them to push in their chairs before you start the music. They will get the hang of it after a few rounds of gameplay and will be begging for a lively game of musical chairs every day!

Remember this interactive learning game on a rainy afternoon or when your students have a lot of pent-up energy! It is easy to prep, and your students are going to love it! I love that letter musical chairs is so versatile and can be changed to meet the needs of my students' needs each time we play. It is such a fun way to practice the letters of the alphabet with a remake of this classic game.
