Throughout the years we have experience four very different seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. In all of those different seasons there is a change in the weather, the way the sky looks, and the way your body reacts to it. In the winter, it is cold, wet, sometimes snow, and windy. In spring, the leaves start blooming. In summer, it is hot, dry, and the sun it’s at its highest. And in fall, the leaves are different colors all over the grass. And the cycle starts all over again!

The two poems I read titled, “Fall” and “Change” I saw, heard, and learned different things. In the poem “Fall,” by Sally Andresen Stolte, I saw birds flying together in a V-shape. I heard the waves coming and the geese chirping. I learned that they bring in the winter.

In the poem “Change,” by Charlotte Zolotow, I saw how different seasons can be. The sky is blue with a big hot, flaming, yellow circle for summer and the sky is grey and cloudy for winter.

The online articles I’ve read I learned why leaves change color in the fall. I found out that plants use glucose as food energy as a form of growing. The plants way to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar and it is call photosynthesis. From these three resources I have explained why different things occur in the natural world. Like why leaves fall of the trees in fall, and the ideas the two poems.
