1. Describe what changes between January, April, July, and October. In January, a continuous, circular jet stream goes from Africa to the west coast of North America until it splits up into two S shaped streams (one over Africa and one over the ocean between Asia and North America). A distinct ridge and trough develops over North America. Depending on the day of the month, there is a trough, continuous jet stream, or broken up jet stream over the ocean between North America and Africa. In April…
In Ray Bradbury’s October Country, we see the theme of autumn’s weather play out in multiple stories. In his story The Lake he gives us a setting of the ending of summer and the beginning of autumn, “It was September. In the last days when things are getting sad for no reason. [sic] The beach was so long and lonely with only about six people on it. The kids quit bouncing the ball because somehow the wind made them sad, too whistling the way it did, and the kids sat down and felt autumn come…
attached to one season. Our Earth is unique among the other planets in our solar system. It is tilted on its axis and exactly the correct distance away from the sun to promote life and landscape year around. This is the cause of our four seasons. Seasons change weather, terrain, and animal lifestyle. The seasons work together to revive the soil and species we depend on. Different animals, insects, and plants are born and thrive within specific seasons. If there were no change in seasons it would…
Keeping your Long Island home bright and cheerful even in when it's blustery outside. Most of us on Long Island haven't given much thought to cold weather lurking around the corner – beyond scheduling the annual heating system check-up and pulling the heavy drapes out of the linen chest. We're still enjoying the cooler nights and milder daytime temperatures after a hot, sultry summer. But, cold weather will arrive sooner than you think. The good news is that even cold, dreary weather outside…
Seasons are what make life fascinating. If we just stuck to one season all year life would be very blank and quiet predictable. We have four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The most commonly acknowledged seasons would be summer and winter, probably being people’s favorites too. Summer and winter have very different climates, one reaching extremely hot temperatures while the other reaches extremely cold temperatures. Both seasons have their own benefits or disadvantage when…
We all know what seasons are, some are cold and some are warm, but have you ever wondered why these seasons happen? Just to remind you what the definition of seasons is, four seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) marked by particular weather patterns and daylight hours, because of the earth's changing position do to the sun. Season are caused by Earth's tilt toward the sun. At different times during the year, the northern or southern axis is closer to the sun. During these…

Nevertheless, she loses and catches her husband, Dumuzi, who can go down instead of her. Then, the four seasons are created by the descents and ascents of Dumuzi who is the god of growth and plenty. In her myths, her journey to go down is for conquering the death; however, she eventually submits the death. In other words, the death cannot be a thing that…

has reached the end of the life cycle. This is compared to a human reaching the end of his/her life. The cycle continues and will begin anew. Personification is key to aiding the reader see what is meant by this poem as it allows you to compare the seasons of Nature to a human, or even any living thing. We are most delicate in the beginning of life. We reach our prime and reproduce, as in summer. We get old and wary as the years go by. We can compare this to autumn as life starts to get harder…
The creative curriculum opens up many doors for little minds. Children learn from doing things themselves through play. Three objectives in this activity are demonstrating balancing skills, solves problems, and demonstrating fine motor skills. I will change up the classroom just a little by bringing out new building blocks and other objects to build with and assigning tasks in each center to try that have to do with building and using fine motor skills. In this plan all children will be able to…
