Winter

• Winter is the first season of the year. It is
  very cold and snowy. The trees have no leaves.
  It officially ends on March 21.

Spring

• Spring is the second season in the year. This is
  the time when trees get their leaves back and
  flowers begin to bloom. It often rains during
  this season. Baby animals are also born. Spring
  officially ends on June 21.

Summer is a very hot season. People often go
swimming in the summer. Children have a vacation
from school during this season. There are many
flowers out since they grew and blossomed in the
the spring. There are often thunderstorms in the
summer. Summer ends on September 23.

Fall
Fall is sometimes called autumn. During this
season the leaves change colors and fall from the
trees. The weather gets colder and snow begins
to fall. Fall ends on December 21.

Why do the seasons change?

• The seasons change because the Earth tilts on its
  axis. As the Earth leans away from the the sun
  it becomes winter. As the Earth leans toward the
  sun it becomes summer.
