The 4 Seasons in a Week

This week was Parent Conference week. That means minimum day all week! Yay!

So to wrap up our Weather unit, we ended with learning about the Seasons and the different weather that happens during each season. Each day I read a section from this book. It had beautiful pictures and gave very good visuals. 




Then I made an anchor chart for each season. And included the months, the different types of activities, clothes, and weather for each month. 

I got the Season anchor chart idea from this cute website. 







Each day my students wrote at least 3 sentences about the season we were talking about.
Monday--Read and wrote about Spring.
Tuesday--Read and wrote about Summer.
Wednesday--Read and wrote about Fall.
Thursday--Read and wrote about Winter.
Friday--Finished up any unfinished writing & art.

 These are the sentence frames that I used. 



Here are a few of my favorite sentences and drawings from my kiddos. 







(He's having a picnic)







So for Friday art, I painted each of their hands and did 4 hand prints on a big construction paper.
I like how different each of my students painted their hand trucks. 



And here was our final product. My kiddos had SO much fun doing art. 

This was mine. 

This scholar was late and I just ended up painting his tree trunk for him.
