In 3rd grade, we do not study the seasons. My students do know the type of weather, the way nature looks , and the way we dress for each season. So I decided to let the students make a Season Flip Book and combine it with a writing activity. They created their own flip book. They had to draw pictures that went with each season. When they finished their pictures they had to write a paragraph explaining the seasons. Then on the last page of the flip book they had to write what their favorite season was and explain why. When they finished , they had to share their flip book and favorite season with the class.
They enjoyed getting to draw and create their own flip books.
My students also do not study seasons. However, as we finished the year, I allowed small groups to work on the flip books. I believe it was mentioned in the webinar that the flip books came from teacherspayteachers.com. I have used this site throughout the year for our science journal. They really enjoyed created the moon and seasons flip books together. I also allowed students to teach the activities to other student groups which was very exciting.
