See how a tree and the weather change in spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child sees how a tree and the weather change across spring, summer, fall, and winter. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 20

A year has four seasons. They always come in the same order: spring, summer, fall, winter.
In spring, flowers bloom. In summer, the days are hot.
In fall, leaves turn colors and drop. In winter, the days are cold. In Georgia, winter is usually mild.
Your turn! Leaves are falling off the tree. Which season? Fall!
Try it with a grown-up! Look at a tree near home. Which season does it look like right now?
