4 Season Window

This is a Kindergarten lesson where we learned about the different season and how an apple tree changes with the seasons. First of all, we went through all the seasons and thought of words that came to mind. Then we described what happens to an apple tree durning those seasons and how they change. We were then given 4 different parts of a tree to represent the 4 seasons and we painted the background with watercolors. After they were painted them to fit the seasons we broke into two groups. One group worked on creating the Summer and Fall parts of the tree, while the other group created Winter and Spring. As we worked on the pieces a book about the seasons was read to us to incorporate some Literature. I thought this was very age appropriate. I found it difficult to blend the watercolors together to get a desired look. An extension of this project would be to write a story as a class about the apple tree. The students are to young to write a story by themselves but could come up with something as a class.
