Below are ideas for extending this topic beyond the activity & exploration you just completed.

• Lesson Assessment : sort the seasons in the correct order
• Activity: With these Vocabulary Cards, students practice reading and writing skills while learning science vocabulary.
• Activity: If you live somewhere that doesn't have the classic four seasons, we strongly recommend extending the lesson.
• Read-Aloud: These books will get your students thinking & talking about the seasons.

If you live somewhere that doesn't have the classic four seasons, we strongly recommend extending this lesson by discussing with your student(s) what seasonal changes you do observe where you live.

For this purpose, we've created a blank "Circle of Seasons" template you can fill out together. You'll want markers or colored pencils for drawing on the blank template as you lead the discussion.

Southern Hemisphere blank template also available.

Snow Rabbit, Spring Rabbit provides an engaging kindergarten-level introduction to the changing seasons and how animals adapt to them. Consider pairing your reading with a timelapse video of the four seasons. Ask your students what changes they see in the weather and the plants.

Ready for Pumpkins tells of a classroom guinea pig who goes to the country for a summer vacation — and learns that you have to be patient as you wait for pumpkins to grow.
