Differentiation & Implementation
- To make community connections, teachers can have farmers come in to talk to students about the crops they grow and when they are grown.
- Teachers can use this resource to make connections to the importance of eating locally grown and produced food, which reduces a food’s carbon footprint.
- Students can draw pictures of other crops that are grown throughout the year in their region.

From the scientist review
In this activity, students will learn which fruits grow in which months. Additional resources or instruction will be needed for the students to find the answers. The activity is simple and does not specifically address climate or the environment; however, understanding seasons and how fruit grows will prepare students to learn about these topics. The information presented is accurate and this resource is recommended for teaching.
