Songs We Are Singing this Autumn

The Leaf Song (Tune: “Skip to My Lou”)

Crinkle, crinkle, crunchity crunch,
Crinkle, crinkle, crunchity crunch,
Crinkle, crinkle, crunchity crunch,
I like autumn leaves a bunch! (jump up & down)

Crinkle, crinkle, crunchity crunch,
Crinkle, crinkle, crunchity crunch,
Crinkle, crinkle, crunchity crunch,
I like autumn leaves this much! (spread arms)

Apple Tree

Way up high in the apple tree (arms overhead)
Two little apples smiled at me (fists in air)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (shake tree)
And down came the apples (lower fists to floor)
And Mmmm- they were good! (rub tummy)

Early Literacy Tip for this Month

Sing to your children. Singing slows down the language so that children can hear the little sounds that are found within words.
