I've also added a super fun end of the year project. Students will work in a small group and become young entrepreneurs. The group will create their own fictional summer business: a lemonade stand or an ice cream truck. This is a fun way to keep kids engaged in meaningful work. See samples below!

The Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter Activities

The Four Seasons emergent reader book for preschool and Kindergarten
Teaching about the four seasons has always been one of my favorite science topics. Watching the trees change, switching out my wardrobe, and experiencing the weather of each season is magical! I've had a resource about the seasons in my TpT store for many years, and it was time for an update. Take a peek and let me know what you think!

There are plenty of activities to engage your learners: sorting activities, graphic organizers, writing prompts/discussion topics for each season, recipes, and more! The resources are designed for PreK, Kindergarten, and 1st graders. My kids especially loved this art project where we painted the bare tree according to the season.
