Did you ever notice that the Earth has 4 seasons? The seasons are broke up into 4 the following: Fall,
Summer, Winter, and Spring. Each season is known for its climate or “weather”. Fall is between
summer and winter. The wind is usually breezy with cool air, but the skies are typically clear and the
holidays are nearby. Summer brings the intense heat and icecream. This season comes after Spring.
Spring falls between Winter and Summer. Showers come and sunny days to grow beautiful flowers
and spread pollen to other plants. Winter greets the year at the end and beginning of a new one. The
cold air and snowy clouds creates a “winter wonderland” during this season. People also shield their
bodies with jackets and thick sweaters to remain warm. These seasons occur, year round, in other
words annually. Our state Georgia experience these seasons each year too. Which season is your
