Seasons and Weather: Supplemental Guide 2A | Winter 39

Introducing the Read-Aloud 15 minutes

What Have We Learned?

• Remind students that yesterday they heard a letter from their
  imaginary pen pal, Annie.
  Ask students: “What did we learn from Annie’s letter?”
  
  
  • We learned that there are four seasons in a year, and each season has
    different weather.

• Point to each season as you say it. Then have students say the
  seasons with you.
  Reinforce that the cycle of the seasons is winter, spring, summer,
  autumn.
  The Cycle of the Seasons


• Tell students that they are going to practice more with the cycle of the
  seasons.


• Explain that they will each have a Seasons Card with one of the
  seasons on it. Tape one of the Season Cards on the front of each
  student in random order.


• Tell students: “Turn to the person next to you and tell them what your
  season is. Say: ‘My season is .’”


• Have students stand in one area of the room. Tell them that they are
  going to make a circle to represent the cycle of the seasons and that
  the cycle begins with winter. Invite a student wearing a winter card to
  take the first spot.


• Invite a student who is wearing a spring card to take the next spot in
  the circle. Continue in this fashion until you have completed the circle.
  If the cycle ends unevenly (the total number of students is not divisible
  by four) have the remaining students stand together with a student
  wearing the same season card as they are wearing.
