From our teachers' playbook

Snow, sun, leaves and blooms

What do 1st graders learn about seasons?

First graders learn the four seasons in order, winter, spring, summer and fall, and that they repeat in a cycle every year. They notice what changes: temperature, weather, what trees look like, what people wear and what animals do. Kids also match the months to each season and start noticing that summer days are longer and winter days are shorter. The click moment is when a child predicts what comes next: "It's fall now, so winter is coming and the leaves will be gone!"

Our favorite ways to make seasons stick

Seasons are something kids live through, so we connect every lesson to what they see outside the window.

Sing the cycle

Play the Seasons Song and have kids stand in a circle holding season cards. Each time the song moves on, the next child steps forward. Seeing the circle helps them understand that seasons go around and around, not in a line.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Four seasons foldable

Kids fold paper into four sections and draw the same tree in each season: bare, budding, green and orange. Add a sentence for each. Keeping one tree makes the changes jump out.

Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Season sort

Show pictures like mittens, sunscreen, a pumpkin and a rain boot. Kids sort each into the right season and explain why. The "why" is where the science thinking happens: "Mittens go in winter because it's cold."

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Questions teachers and parents ask

What do 1st graders learn about seasons?

They learn the four seasons in order, the months in each one, and how weather, plants, animals and clothing change through the year. They also notice that the seasons repeat every year.

How do you explain seasons to a 6-year-old?

Keep it to what they can see. Talk about how it's cold and snowy in winter, warm and flowery in spring, hot in summer and leafy in fall. Watch one tree outside all year and notice how it changes.

Do 1st graders learn why we have seasons?

Mostly they learn the patterns: what each season is like and that they repeat. The reason, Earth's tilt as it orbits the Sun, usually comes in later grades.

How can I teach seasons at home?

Take a monthly photo of the same tree, sort clothes by season, and talk about what the weather is doing. Kids love seeing their own photos change over a year.
