The Four Seasons Window

This lesson was taught in order for us to get the feel of different colors and the different changes a tree goes through when the seasons change. There were two teachers that taught this lesson. They split up and took one half of the room and the other teacher took the other half and they gave us specifics as what we needed to do. First, my group had summer and fall. We first had to take and paint the backgrounds the different colors that we felt each season had. After doing this then we had to color or add different things to each season in order to make it look like that particular season. For summer had to color around the branches and make apples in the tree. For fall we had to take different little pieces of fall colored paper and place them on the tree different places or on the ground to make it look like the leaves were falling off the tree or already had. After those two seasons were done, we switched sides. Next, we went over the other tables and worked with the other teacher. She had us do spring and winter. For spring we took little pieces of pink paper and crumpled them up to make buds on our tree. For winter we took cotton balls and pulled them apart and placed them on the ground and then outlined our trees in glue. After doing that we went to the glitter station and poured glitter all over in order to give our snow that shimmering affect.

An extension for this project would be to have kids really keep track or look outside to see what it looks like outside and try to make a replica of the outside world.
