  kindergarteners. Teaching the four seasons will
  begin your kindergarteners journey through
  science.

Essential and Unit Questions

• While teaching this unit, remember to try to
  get the most out of each student by asking them
  questions that force their minds to explore
  different options.
• Essential Questions
• How do our daily routines change with the
  seasons?
  
• Why do you think we have the four seasons?
• If you could choose one season to have all year
  long, which season would you choose and why?
  
• Unit Questions
• Can you name the four seasons?
• During the winter season, what do the trees look
  like?
  
• Which season is the hottest?

Whats the Point?

• The main objective in teaching this unit, is to
  educate your students on what the four seasons
  are as a whole. After this unit is taught, your
  students will be able to
• 1. Identify each season individually, as
  well as, activities done in each season.
  
• 2. Identify their own birthday's day, month, and
  season. 3. Recite the months of the year and say
  how many days in each month.4. Associate
  different types of weather to a season.

Activities!

• Here is where you capture your students
  attention. I have listed a few activities in
  which will all be helpful as your students
  venture through the four seasons.
• One major project that will be done in class will
  be a project called A Moment in Time. Each
  student will recall their favorite memory thus
  far in their lives and create a picture by using
  KIDPIX illustrating their memory and which season
  it was taken place in.
• The Four Seasons Fruit Salad (you will find the
  recipe online at https//people.unt.edu/mah0270/pa
  ge204.html). This fun fruit salad includes
  different ingredients which all represent a
  different season. It will not only be fun to make
  for your students, but also fun to eat!
