The leaves on the trees come tumbling down!

Leaves on the Tree
tune of "Wheels on the Bus"
~
The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown,
orange and brown, orange and brown.
The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown.
All over town.
~
The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish;
swish, swish, swish; swish, swish, swish.
The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish
Down on the ground.
~
The leaves on the trees come tumbling down,
tumbling down, tumbling down.
The leaves on the trees come tumbling down,
Down to the ground.

On Thursday we continued to learn about the Fall season and about leaves. After we sang our new song, we read Cranberry Thanksgiving by Wende and Harry Devlin.
.
Then we went and made some of our own fall trees.


As we reviewed some of our fundamentals today, we danced around our triangle. This is always one of our favorite things!

We sang our ABC's and reviewed the letter Ll. We talked about things that started with Ll (lion, Laura, Lowee, lemon) and looked at some pictures (lion, light bulb, lime, licorice).

We played "Is it yellow?" Every child had a turn to choose something from my yellow bowl and and tell the class if it was yellow or a different color.

Then we did a "following directions" worksheet. I told the kids how many leaves to color and what color to color them. As they listened and followed directions.

I love it that you reviewed "Lowee" for letter L. So fun!
