Four Seasons and Day Length

Some people like summer because it is warm and they can go swimming. Other people might like winter because it snows and they like to go sledding.

Leaves start to turn colors in the fall and eventually fall off the trees.

When spring is coming new leaves start to grow on trees and snow starts to melt.

Some activities that you can do in winter include sledding, skiing or building a snowman.

Some good clothing choices for a hot summer day are flip flops, shorts and tank tops.

Winter is followed by spring, then summer and fall. After fall, it starts all over again. Seasons happen in the same order every year.

Summer days are warmer because there is more daylight. The sun is out for longer on summer days and the sunlight helps warm the Earth.

Leaves on the trees start to turn colors in the fall. It also gets a little cooler since there is less daylight.

Squirrels find food to store for the winter. Some animals like bears hibernate, which means they sleep through the winter.

There are more hours of daylight in the summer than in the winter.

Seasons always happen in the same order and then they repeat. Winter, spring, summer, fall… Winter, spring, summer, fall… Winter, spring, summer, fall.

In winter, trees have no leaves. In spring, they begin to get flowers and new leaves. In summer lots of leaves are on the trees. In the fall the leaves change colors and begin to fall off the trees.
