First Day of Winter Activity Pack: Why Seasons Change

Start with the seasons page, since the later pages build on it. Use the rest as morning work or centers the week of December 21.

Eight pages after the cover: Why Do Seasons Change? with 3 questions, How Long Is the Day? (a bar graph of daylight in Chicago), Addition Snowflakes colored by sum, How Animals Stay Warm (a line match), How to Stay Warm steps writing, Winter Words in ABC Order, The Sun's Path in the Sky and My Winter Solstice Poster.

Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

6 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 Winter Solstice resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Winter Solstice activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 7-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
