Theme: Fall
Opening Songs
First Book
Full of Fall, by April Pulley Sayre
Scarf Dancing:
Falling leaves, falling leaves
In the air, in the air
Whirling, twirling leaves
Whirling, twirling leaves
Everywhere, everywhere
Falling leaves, falling leaves
everywhere, everywhere
Whirling, twirling leaves
Whirling, twirling leaves
touch the ground, touch the ground.
Pop Goes the Weasel, by Caspar Babypants (toss the scarf in the air when he says “pop!”)

Hocus Pocus, It’s Fall!, by Anne Sibley O’Brien and Illustrated by Susan Gal

I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap
a clap, clap, clap, a clap, clap, clap

and I wiggle my waggles away
