Let's All Do a Little Clapping 
(Tune:"We Wish You a Merry Christmas", modified from Storytime Katie)
Let's all do a little clapping,
Let's all do a little clapping,
Let's all do a little clapping,
and spread some Fall cheer!
Other actions can include stomping, jumping, twirling, etc. 

Leaves are Falling (adapted from SuraLune Fairy Tales)
Leaves are falling, (wiggle fingers and move hands towards floor)
Leaves are falling,
All around. (spin)
All around.
They are falling softly,
Very, very softly.
To the ground.(touch ground)

Way up high in the apple tree (modified from Literary Commentary)
Way up high in the apple tree, (lift arms)
10 little apples smiled at me!
I shook that tree as hard as I could, (shake back and forth)
Down came the apple, (wave hands towards ground)
Boy was it good!  

We wave our leaves (adapted from "We Hit the Floor Together" by Abby Librarian)
We wave our leaves together, together,
We wave our leaves together, together,
We wave our leaves together,
Because it's fun to do!
Other verses can include spinning, bouncing, throwing, etc.

Craft: We decorated "apples" made out of torn paper and paper plates.

Literacy tip of the week: Daily reading time doesn't have to last long. Even 15 minutes can make a big difference in your child's development.
