Autumn Leaves

Today Mrs. Magee brought a huge box of leaves. We spread them out on the rug and had fun. The children made some comparisons - big/small, curly/straight - and they crunched them up to hear the sounds dry leaves make. Then we picked up leaves and sang a song with them. You can sing it at home, too.

Autumn Leaves - to the tune of London Bridge

Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down,

Autumn leaves are falling down all around you.

Some are orange and some are brown, some are brown, some are brown

Some are orange and some are brown, watch them all fall down.

Some are yellow and some are red, some are red, some are red,

Some are yellow and some are red, leaves fall on my head.

As you can imagine, this song is big fun to act out. Sadly, I didn't take a picture of the millions of leaf bits left behind.
