I created this powerpoint for my first grade class. I used the book entitled, "Why is it Fall?" by Sara L. Latta.

1. What is Fall?
Based on the book, “Why is it Fall?” by Sara
L. Latta

2. There are four seasons of
the year. Fall is one of the
seasons. The others are
winter, summer, and
spring.

4. • Fall is cooler than summer, but warmer that winter.
• Summer is hot.
• Winter is cold.
Each season lasts about
three months and has its
own kind of weather.

6. • It begins right after summer.
• Fall is called “Fall” because the leaves fall from the trees.
Get it?
Fall is also known as
Autumn.

7. We go to school.

causes more or less
sunlight to fall on
different parts of the
Earth.

13. • With less sunlight, plants make less food. They get ready
to rest for winter. The green part of leaves that makes
food goes away.
• Other plants turn brown and look dead, but they are still
alive! Like the bears, they will rest all winter.
Why do leaves change
color?

15. • In fall, animals get ready for winter. Some grow long,
thick fur to keep them warm. Others gather food.
• Squirrels store nuts.
• Bear eat a lot in order to prepare for hibernation.
What do animals do in the
fall?

17. • Some birds, such as geese and ducks, do not like to live
in the cold weather. They fly south to warmer places,
where it has summer weather all year round.
• Butterflies also migrate.
Why do birds fly away?

19. • Halloween
• Thanksgiving
Holidays in Fall
