Using a document in Google Apps is perfect for many activities, but sometimes they can be so limiting.
They’re restricting. They force you to enter information in a fairly linear fashion, and linear just doesn’t cut it sometimes.
Sometimes, you want your work to be all over the place. Think of sticky notes on a wall or spreading work out on a table or the floor to see everything.
When that’s what you need, your Google Apps tool of choice might be Google Drawings. It’s simple to use but powerful and very versatile.

As the NAEYC article indicates, teaching about the seasons isn’t limited to just winter holidays and changes in the weather. Broader lessons about the environment, like Maisonville’s students observing a lack of birds, can open up early lessons in scientific inquiry, even the scientific method, for example.
