Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!
After the cold, dark days of winter, something wonderful happens — spring arrives! The air gets warmer. Snow begins to melt. Icicles drip-drip-drip from rooftops. Puddles appear everywhere!
Spring usually begins in March in the Northern Hemisphere (where the USA, Europe, and most of Asia are). The days start getting LONGER — more hours of sunshine each day! In winter you might leave for school in the dark, but in spring the sun is already shining.
The temperature slowly rises. You do not need your heavy winter coat anymore — a light jacket is enough. Some days are warm and sunny, but spring can be tricky! It might be warm one day and chilly with rain the next. That is just spring being spring!
