Label each circle. Students will sort appropriately dressed dolls according to the seasons into the matching season circle. The class will discuss the attributes specific to the seasons and explain their simple logic for what the dolls are wearing. Focus on one season each day. Discuss the weather typically associated with each season.
Students create a circle map for each season to brainstorm characteristics of each season.
As a class, share ideas from circle maps Students will write and illustrate a narrative story about an experience they may have during the focused season for that day. At home, students and adults can research government agencies to see how they are involved during a weather catastrophe. Pose how, why and what if questions when appropriate throughout the unit. Fall - discuss hurricanes and how we depend on government services before and after storms. How neighborhoods change and predict logical future changes.
