PM Parade

Thanks to all the parents, siblings, and friends who were able to join us for our parade of heroes and community helpers! I hope you enjoyed viewing all of the creative costumes. Thanks also to all who distributed treats to our class. The kids loved having a cubby full of snacks to take home. Hopefully this didn't add too much sugar to the trick-or-treating!

I'm also glad those who came were able to come into our classroom and watch a brief performance of autumnal songs we've been singing, as well as see our Frog Street video that weekly teaches a letter to our class. We do send home books with the lyrics to the letter songs each week. If you want to sing our fall songs at home, here are the lyrics:



"Autumn Leaves" (sung to "London Bridge")



Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down.
Autumn leaves are falling down, welcome autumn.

Sweep the leaves and put them here, put them here, put them here.
Sweep the leaves and put them here, welcome autumn.

Jump right in and have some fun, have some fun, have some fun.
Jump right in and have some fun, welcome autumn!



"Two Apples" (sung to "This Old Man")

Way up high, in a tree
Two red apples smiled at me
So I shook that tree as har-r-d as I could
Down came the apples,
Yum! They were good!

"Jingle Jangle Scarecrow"

When all the birds were sleeping and the sun had gone to bed,
Up jumped a scarecrow, and this is what he said:
'I'm a Jingle Jangle Scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat.
I shake my hands like this and I shake my feet like that.'

And when all the cows were sleeping and the sun was behind a cloud,
Up jumped a scarecrow, and shouted very loud:
'I'm a Jingle Jangle Scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat.
I shake my arms like this and I shake my arms like that.'
