Wee Read - Fall is Here

Early Literacy Tip: Speak face-to-face when talking to your baby: they watch adults’ mouths to match shapes to sounds.

Three Little Apples (felt board not pictured)
Three little apples at the grocery store.
Three little apples, all lonely to the core.
When along comes a child with a quarter to pay,
She buys one and takes it away.
--Miss Mollie

The Leaves are Falling Down
Sung to: "The Farmer in the Dell"
The leaves are falling down
The leaves are falling down
Red, yellow, green, and brown
The leaves are falling down
Way Up High in the Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree
arms above head
Two little apples did I see.
make two fists
So I shook that tree as hard as I could,
wiggle body all over
Down, came the apples.
bring arms down, wiggling fingers
Mmmmmm, they were good!
rub tummy


I Wiggle My Fingers

Blue Bird, Blue Bird
Blue bird, blue bird,
On my window.
Blue bird, blue bird,
On my window.
Blue bird, blue bird,
On my window.
Oh, Mommy, I'm tired.
