Mr. Squirrel
Who's that scampering up the tree,
Carrying acorns...1,2,3?
It's Mr. Squirrel with a tail so furry.
He's ready for winter, so don't you worry!
(Mailbox Magazine - Betty Silkunas)
An Apple Surprise
Way up high in the apple tree,
A little brown worm smiled at me.
I winked my eye,
And what do you suppose?
A shiny, red apple dropped on my nose!

Ten Red Apples
Ten Red apples growing on a tree,
(hold hands up high)
Five for you and five for me.
(Shake one hand, then the other.)
Help me shake the tree just so,
(shake whole body.)
And ten red apples down below.
(Lower hands while fluttering fingers.)
One, two, three, four, five,
(count fingers on one hand.)
Six. Seven, eight, nine, ten.
(Count fingers on opposite hand.)

SEASON SONG
(Tune: When the Saints Go Marching In)
Oh when the leaves, fall off the trees,
Oh when the leaves fall off the trees.
We know that it must be autumn.
When the leaves fall off the trees.
Oh when the snow, begins to fall,
Oh when the snow begins to fall.
We know that it must be winter.
When the snow begins to fall.
Oh when the birds, begin to nest
,Oh when the birds begin to nest.
We know that is must be springtime
.When the birds begin to nest
Oh when the sun, shines so-o bright,
,Oh when the sun shines so-o bright.
We know that it must be summer.
When the sun shines so-o bright!!

One ran away and then there were four.

One ran away and then there were three.

One ran away and then there were two.
Two little squirrrels warming in the sun,

The Roly Poly Pumpkin
(Eensy, Weensy Spider)
Oh, the roly-poly pumpkin
Went rolling down the hill
Once it started rolling
It couldn't keep still
It rolled and rolled and rolled
Until it bumped into a rock.
Then the roly-poly pumpkin
Rolled to a stop.
Look at the Apples
(The Mulberry Bush)
Look at the apple I have found,
So fat and rosy on the ground.
Mother will wash it and cut it in two.
Half for me and half for you.
Down by the Oak Tree
(Down by the Station)
Down by the oak tree
On an autumn morning.
See all the yellow leaves
whirling to and fro.
See how they twist and turn,
Whirling, whirling, whirling
Down, down, down, down
Off they blow
