Language Arts - AUTUMN
Autumn is a season that falls between winter and spring. There are many changes that begin in this fascinating season. Days become shorter. Leaves of trees turn from green to vibrant red, yellow, and orange. Trees need sunlight to keep their leaves a lively green. Without sunlight leaves turn colors. In the morning, the grass is no longer blanketed with dew but with frost as temperatures reach the freezing point. Animals start storing up a supply of food to last the long winter months. These changes occur as the people adjust from the heat of the summer to the chill of the winter.
During the autumn months, the daylight seen by the Northern Hemisphere diminishes and the temperatures fall. In response to these events trees undergo many physical changes. During this time, they shed billions of tons of leaves. In certain regions, the shedding of leaves is preceded by a spectacular change in color by all the leaves. After leaves turn from their everyday green to a brilliant red, they fall from the tree.
Autumn occurs between summer and winter. In the Northern Hemisphere it is from the September equinox to the December solstice; in the Southern Hemisphere it is from the March equinox to the June solstice.
