Unregistered 06:42 AM 09-24-2012
Hi Everyone- Happy Monday
Looking for songs on these subjects, finger plays or arts and crafts in this theme that are simple. I have two year olds. Please don't send me to a site, that I am going to have to weed through a bunch of other stuff to find what I am looking for. I am frustrated with that and that is why I am here.
Squirrels
leaves
Fall
I am also looking for a transition song, and I can't remember the name of it or how it all goes. Has to do with clapping and folding hands and putting them in your lap. I think it could be a head start song. Clap clap clap, now hands together and on your lap?

We have been singing
leaves are falling, leaves are falling, one fell on my nose (touch nose)
leaves are falling, leaves are falling, one fell on my toes (touch toes)
leaves are falling, leaves are falling, one fell on my head (touch head)
leaves are falling, leaves are falling, yellow, orange, red!

Our kids have been enjoying "Ring Around the Apple Tree"
Ring around the apple tree
Here comes a big breeze
Apples, Apples, we all fall down!

sang to the tune of "where is thumbkin?"
leaves are falling
leaves are falljng
all around,
to the ground.
they are such a nice sight
dancing in the sunlight.
floating down to the ground
or
tune: london bridges
leaves change color in the fall
in the fall, in the fall,
leaves change color in the fall
they're so lovely!
tune: do your ears hang low
when the summer ends,
then the season will be fall
leaves drop off the trees,
and we'' jump into them all
winter brings the snow,
in the spring the sfot wind blow
four seasons in all

5 little leaves up in the tree
They're as bright as they can be
along comes the wind, blowing all around
and one little leaf falls to the ground
(Then 4-3-2-1 leaves)
Simple for younger kids (to London Bridges tune):
all the leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down
red and yellow orange and brown
see the pretty colors

thanks everyone..
I was hoping that maybe we could get a section by month of themed curriculum. So for example we could have sept category and then all the providers can list their sept curriculum. It would be a one stop shop and we would not have to scour the internet searching for ideas?????? Is this asking too much?
