Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter by Kenard Pak highlights the transition before fall and winter with beautiful words.
This is another free resource for teachers from The Curriculum Corner.
Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter contains beautiful illustrations, also by the author. Children will enjoy connecting with familiar highlights of the changing seasons.
This book takes readers through the transition of seasons. It lends itself to making connections and visualizing during reading.
Children will learn about traditions that have been passed through families over the years. The definitions found at the end of the book provide readers with more meaning behind events touched on in the story.
We suggest adding this book to your fall and winter collection.
This literacy set focuses on exploring the text. 
Within our Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter collection you will find the following resources:

Book Searches
These four bookmarks can be a way for students to mark specific spots in the text. We included the headings visualize, word choice, illustration and connection. These could also be used for other books.
Visualizing
Children will draw what they picture as they read. These ideas can also provide a prompt or two to lead group discussions.
Making Connections
If students need direction you might encourage them to think about Thanksgiving or family traditions.
Other Lined Pages & a Booklet
Use the remaining pages as they fit into your classroom. Some will have directions while others are more open ended.
For the booklet, you can have students write their own version of the book using what they see around them as the seasons change.
