Season Poem Book


Changes in the Year


Years ago I found a poem by Jill Eggleton about the seasons in a book, unfortunately I did not save the name of the book.  Anyways I thought of this project a couple weeks ago when our first grade social studies unit was about the weather and seasons.    We watched videos on the seasons on Brain Pop Jr.  and then brainstormed what kinds of clothes we would wear and activities we would participate in during that season.  


Brain Pop Jr. 
 Then the children completed the pages for the parts of the poem.
First the children made the cover and we watched the season video.
This is just for first introduction page.  
 On the summer page the children painted the leaves and drew flowers.
I love this Fall page.  The little girl drew herself trick-or-treating on Halloween night.  We used sticky tape for the leaves.
 On the winter page the children made a picture of themselves in their winter gear and made a snowman out of sticky tape.  Then they painted white snowflakes with q-tips.
 This is the Spring page.  We used green tissue paper for the buds and pink tissue paper for flowers.  We used the blue paint with q-tips for rain.  
This is my favorite spring page.  The little boy who made this loves baseball.  There are so many great baseball details here.  I love the super big score board and the speech bubble that says, Rain Delay!
