Seasons

The four seasons are winter, spring, summer, and autumn (fall). The difference between each season is the weather and also the hours of daylight. Seasons are a result of the revolution of the Earth and the Sun as well as the tilt of the Earth’s axis.

Spring:

Spring is between winter and summer and the days are close to 12 hours long with the length of the day increasing as the season continues. Spring months are March, April and May. This season is referred to as the rebirth usually because of the flowers coming out again.

Summer:

Summer is between spring and autumn and is the warmest of the four seasons. It has the longest days and the shortest nights. Summer months are June, July, and August. In most countries children are out of school during the summer and most people spend more time outside.

Autumn:

Autumn is also known as fall and is between summer and winter. The autumn months are September, October, and November. The night comes earlier and the days aren’t as long as they are in the summer.

Winter:

Winter is the coldest season of the year and it is between autumn and spring. The months of winter are December, January, and February. Winter has the shortest days and the longest nights.

GRAMMAR POINT:
COMMAS:
Throughout my blog you will notice I used many commas. Some general rules for commas that Jennifer did not use are, to use a comma before a conjunction, after an introductory element, to separate items in a series o three or more things, and to separate adjectives.

I want you to go back throughout my blog and circle all the commas I used. After that is done you can go to this website and complete a test on commas.

Read through the information and do the quiz at the end.
