3. When the temp. outside is cold enough, usually around 32

degrees Fahrenheit, water freezes into ice crystals called
snow.
Snowflakes are usually less the ½ inch across.

No two snowflakes are alike.

All snowflakes have 6 sides

Winter is officially from Dec-March, but it usually snows before

and after that.
Very cold temperatures…anywhere from -10 to 32 degrees.


4. Spring is officially from March-June

“April showers bring May flowers” is a common phrase

because in April we usually see lots of rain storms, and all
the water from the rain helps the flowers to bloom around
May.
The temperature starts to warm up from winter…usually

from 45-65 degrees.
Quit

5. Summer is officially from the end of June-Sept.

Sun shines the most in the summer

Rains very little in the summer…although some thunderstorms

do occur.
Mores hours of sunlight than darkness

Since there is not much rain, the earth can get very dry and

hard, and we get droughts. Our plants and grass die from the
lack of water.
Quit

6. Fall is officially from Sept-Nov

The temperatures start to cool down from the summer..usually

in the 60’s-50’s
The tree’s leaves start to change colors from green to bright

yellows, reds, and oranges.
The leaves also start to fall off the trees.

Fall is also called Autumn.

Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Michigan

7. My name is Sarah Lipka. I currently attend

Grand Valley State University and am
studying elementary education, with an
emphasis in integrated science. I would like
to teach third grade someday. I hope to
graduate in 3 years. In my free time I enjoy
hanging out with my family and friends, and
my favorite Michigan season is summer
because it is nice and warm, and I enjoy not
having school and being able to go to the
beach and eating ice cream!
