Preschool Grade Talking Points
- Winter is a season when it gets very cold outside. We wear warm clothes like coats, hats, and gloves to stay cozy.
- During winter, the trees lose their leaves and look bare. The ground gets covered with snow, and it makes everything look white and sparkly.
- Animals like birds and squirrels have a hard time finding food in winter, so we can help them by putting out bird feeders and leaving nuts for the squirrels.
