Snow, sun, leaves and blooms
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!"
Seasons are something kids live through, so we connect every lesson to what they see outside the window.
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: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withSeasons Song (Animated Music Video)SongsOpen it →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: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
Try it withFour Seasons ActivityActivitiesOpen it →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).

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.
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.
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.
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.
