Advance Preparation

Create a large Seasons Comparison Chart on chart paper. (See example

in What Have We Learned?) The class will fill this chart out together.

Make sure to cover the columns for the seasons that have not been

addressed yet.

Students will have their own version of the Seasons Comparison Chart.

Prepare copies of Instructional Masters 3A-1 (Winter Chart) and 3A-2

(Winter Image Sheet) for each student. Students can draw or cut and

paste images from their Winter Image Sheet onto their Winter Chart.

For Vocabulary Preview, demonstrate what melts looks like by putting ice

cubes into warm water.

Prepare a copy of Instructional Master 3B-1 for each student. This will be

the page for spring in their My Four Seasons Drawing Book.
