It hasn't felt much like fall lately, with the warm temperatures we have been having, but yesterday we went and picked out some mums and pumpkins in preparation for Halloween. Then I remembered this poem I have used in the classroom and in home schooling and I thought I would share it, even though the leaves are still clinging mightily to the trees here in NYC.
I hope you enjoy this poem as much as my students did.
It's Poetry Friday and Leigh Anne at A Day in the Life has this week's roundup.
Hi Alex, It's fun to see you here! This is such a kid-friendly poem, full of those leaves we adore seeing so bright, on the trees, so crunchy, jumping in, and then, time to rake! I've been gone for nearly a week, and my yard filled up since I left. Time to work, and enjoy, too. Thanks for this, will share with my grand-girls!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves they were a-sailing yesterday on our back-roads drive through PA to Falling Water!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun poem. Fall has been slow to come here this year, too, but I think we're finally going to get to experience some October fun with all the things captured in this poem.
ReplyDeleteThis poem captures so many things I love about fall! Here in Indiana, we are not experience these signs of fall...yet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun fall poem for wee-ones! It's exciting to think about pumpkins and mums again here in Texas. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello Alex, what a lovely poem, just perfect for the time of year. We have high winds and lots of rain just now so the beautiful colours are taking rather a battering, but they have been beautiful.
