Book: "Peppa's Windy Fall Day"


Song with theme using shakers:

“Five Leaves”

Five little leaves so bright and gay,
Were dancing about on a tree one day.
The wind came blowing through the town,
And one little leaf came tumbling down.


Four little leaves so bright and gay,
Were dancing about on a tree one day.
The wind came blowing through the town,
And one little leaf came tumbling down.

(Continue with 3, 2, and 1)
Fingerplay:

“Five Little Squirrels”

This little squirrel jumps from tree to tree. (Show index finger.)
This little squirrel hides from you and me. (Show middle finger.)
This little squirrel sits and looks around. (Show ring finger.)
This little squirrel finds nuts on the ground. (Show baby finger.)
This little squirrel scampers up and down. (Show thumb.)
Burying all the nuts he found. (Use both hands and dig a hole.)
Spanish song for the week: "Los Pollitos Dicen Pio Pio Pio" from Nick Jr.

In the breeze,
In the breeze.
