Did you know that the year is divided into twelve special months? Each month has its own fun things to discover and celebrate. Let’s take a journey through the months and learn about the seasons and exciting events that happen throughout the year!
Here are the months of the year in order:
Each month fits into a season, and each season brings different weather and activities:
Named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings. It’s a time for new starts and making resolutions.
The shortest month, with only 28 or 29 days. It’s known for Valentine’s Day, a day to show love and friendship.
Spring begins! It’s a time for warmer weather and celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with lots of green.
April Fool’s Day is for jokes and fun. Spring is in full bloom, making it a colorful month.
Flowers are everywhere, and we celebrate Mother’s Day. It’s a time of transition to summer.
Summer officially starts! Schools often end, and it’s time for graduations and summer fun.
In the United States, Independence Day is celebrated with fireworks. It’s a great month for outdoor adventures.
Often the hottest month, perfect for last-minute summer trips before school starts again.
Back to school! Fall begins, and leaves start to change color.
Halloween brings costumes and candy. It’s a month full of autumn fun and harvest celebrations.
Thanksgiving is a time for family and giving thanks. The weather gets cooler as winter approaches.
Full of holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah. It’s the end of the year, a time for reflection and celebration.
Learning about the months of the year helps us understand the seasons and the special events that come with them. From snowy winters to sunny summers, each month offers something unique and exciting. By knowing these patterns, we can plan our activities and enjoy all the wonderful things each season brings!
Seasonal Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt in your backyard or local park to find items that represent each season. For example, look for a leaf for fall, a flower for spring, a snowflake (or a picture of one) for winter, and a sun drawing for summer. Discuss with your family or friends how each item relates to its season.
Monthly Memory Book: Create a memory book where you draw or paste pictures of activities you do each month. Include special events like birthdays, holidays, or trips. At the end of the year, look back at your book and see how each month was different and special.
Weather Diary: Keep a weather diary for one month. Each day, write down or draw what the weather is like. Is it sunny, rainy, or snowy? At the end of the month, look at your diary and see if you can spot any patterns. Discuss how the weather might change in the next month as the seasons shift.
