Seasons

Signs Of Spring

Seasons


Suitable for Kindergarten to Third Grade

- compare two seasons through the
  use of a Venn Diagram
- the Venn Diagram can be 
  modified depending on the age/ability of 
  the children


Activity

- a brainstorming session is an effective 
  way to begin this activity 
- using chart paper, have the students 
  think of characteristics for the two seasons being compared
- older children may only need a couple 
  ideas and then they can independently 
  complete their comparisons
- younger children can use two hula 
  hoops to organize each point 
- teach how Venn Diagram show how (in 
  this case) two things are different in the 
  two separate circles and how they are 
  the same where the two circles overlap


Follow-Up

- use picture cues to go with each season
  for pre-readers (this is great for small 
  groups)
- technology can be used to complete the Venn Diagram (the app/program will need to be 
  accessible and understood)
