EXTRA ACTIVITIES:

We talked about the letters "F" & "L" the sounds they make and words that begin with "F" & "L"

FALL
Autumn winds begin to blow (sway like a tree)
colored leaves fall fast and slow (wiggle fingers fast & slow)
twirling, whirling all around (turn around)
until at last they touch the ground (touch ground)

FALL/LEAVES
Five little leaves so bright and gay (hold up 5 fingers)
were dancing on a tree one day (wiggle fingers)
the wind came blowing through the town (hold hands around mouth and blow)
one leaf came tumbling down (make a sound 'wheeee' or 'aaaaaah")
Repeat the rhyme with 4 leaves, 3 leaves, 2 leaves, 1 leaf
