Winter

In the winter, temperatures are colder than any other season. The part of earth experiencing winter is tilted and turned far away from the sun. There may be snow or ice in the weather forecast. Tree branches are bare. Some animals go into hibernation in the winter. Days are short and nights are long. It is important to remember that when you are experiencing the winter season, there are also people experiencing the summer season at the same time.

Clothing for the Winter

Typically, boots, a heavy coat, a scarf, a hat, and warm gloves or mittens are worn. Sometimes snowsuits can be worn too. Indoors, pants and sweaters are the most common pieces of clothing worn.

Fun in the Winter

In the winter, there are many fun things to do, such as ice skating, sledding, skiing, shoveling snow, throwing snowballs, and plowing the streets.

Ice

When it is winter time
I run up the street
And I make the ice laugh
With my little feet-
"Crickle, crackle, crickle
Crrreeet, crrreeet, crrreeet."

-Dorthy Aldis
