Are constellations always in the same part of the sky?
No - as Earth rotates the stars and constellations seem to move. Also, as Earth orbits the sun over the course of a year, the stars we see at night in the winter are different than the stars we see at night in the summer. Same with Spring and Fall.
Why are the constellations that appear in the winter sky different from those in the summer sky?
As the earth orbits the sun over the course of a full year, the side of earth in darkness (night) will face out toward a different direction. The winter constellations are those that are in line extending from the sun through earth out into the galaxy during winter, and the summer constellations are those on the opposite side of the sun. Therefore, during different seasons you are actually seeing different parts of the universe due to earth orbiting the sun.

Why are some constellations visible during winter months and not during the summer?
Because the constellations that are visible during winter are on the other side of the sun during the summer. During the year the earth spins around the sun like a big satellite. So while the earth is constantly moving, the distance that the stars are away from us cause them to look stationary from our point of view some constellations can only be seen a few months out of the year.
