Introduction: | I will open the week with an open ended discussion asking the class these questions: Do you know how many seasons there are? Can you name them? Praise the children for their participation in the discussion. Tell the children there are four seasons, and name them. Inform them through out the week, we will be learning about the four seasons! Now we will read a book introducing the topic. Tell Me A Season by Mary McKenna Siddals; illustrated by Petra Mathers Talk about the book with the children. |

Practice: | To further emphasis the difference between the seasons, we will have four boxes labeled FALL, WINTER, SPRING, and SUMMER. In each box will be the appropriate season clothing. Let the children dress up and discussion why certain clothes belong to different seasons. |
Accommodations: | Children will be given a different season. Their task is to create an appropriate picture. The picture could be of an activity pertaining to the season, weather pertaining to the season, or anything else pertaining to their given season. Examples: Josh was given the season fall and drew a picture of him trick or treating. This shows Josh understands, Halloween is in the fall.
