VIEW SAMPLE

Explore what causes the seasons and how they are different with Learning About the Seasons. There’s no prep-work for you to worry about finding time to do. Just grab a copy of The Reasons For Seasons (sold separately) and Learning About the Seasons and follow them together at the pace that is right for your family.

The book and Notebook Companion™ start by looking at how the tilt of the earth and its position on its journey around the sun determine our seasons. Then it explores how each season is different from the others, how seasons are different in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, what the weather is like near the equator and at the poles, how people and animals do different things in different seasons, and more.

Students will practice written narration as they answer our open-ended questions about what they are learning. They’ll also learn by studying and drawing various diagrams of the tilt of the earth and its axis, poles, and hemispheres. Room is provided for sketching and labeling pictures of what they are learning. Bonus coloring pages are also included!

Students will learn about words and topics related to seasons such as:

• tilt
