Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.
How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?
Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.
This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.
Can I show videos in live classes?
Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.
Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.
The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.
How do bookmarks work?
Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.
You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.
You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.
You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Main Teaching Points
Teach the about the season:
- Jehovah made the seasons and each season has something we can enjoy. Each season is distinct from the other seasons.
- The seasons follow a cycle. A cycle is a pattern that repeats in the same order over and over again.
- After winter, the next season in the cycle of seasons is spring. In the United States, spring starts in the month of March and includes the months of April and May.
- We call this season Spring because it is the time of the year when flowers bloom, or spring up from the ground and from the trees and bushes.
- Because the Earth is getting more sun, the days start to get longer in spring. We get more sunlight during that day than we do in the Winter.
- Lots of animals start to have babies in the spring. Animals that migrated to where it was warmer start to come back in the spring.
Discussion Questions
- Can you use all 5 of your senses to describe spring?
- What is your favorite thing to do, see or make in the spring?
- What are the months of spring?
- What changes happen as Winter turns into spring?
- How do we dress differently in the spring?
- What does spring show us about Jehovah’s personality?
- What kinds of clothes do you think would be best to wear in rainy and muddy weather?
