Share your experience of seasons' journaling.
Seasons' journaling was an enriching experience that helped me observe nature more carefully.
Throughout the year, I recorded changes in plants—how trees shed leaves in autumn and grew new ones in spring, how flowers bloomed and withered.
I observed birds and animals—how they behaved differently in different seasons, migration patterns, and changes in their sounds.
I noted changes in air, heat, and light—how the Sun's position changed, how days became longer in summer and shorter in winter.
I tracked water bodies—how ponds filled during monsoon and dried in summer.
I also recorded human activities—different crops grown, festivals celebrated, and clothes worn.
Journaling helped me understand that nature follows a rhythm and that all these changes are interconnected.
Explanation
The chapter describes Saba and Aparna looking at their seasons' journal and encourages students to maintain their own. The Classroom Activity—Seasons' Chart guides students to observe and record changes in plant life, birds and animals, air/heat/light, water and water bodies, and human activities across four time periods: April–June, July–September, October–December, and January–March. This question asks students to reflect on their journaling experience and share what they learned.
