Songs of the Seasons

In kindergarten, the students helped me read an interactive book called Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson. We knocked on the trunk, jiggled the book, blew away fallen leaves, closed our eyes and counted to 10 ... and after every action, the tree had changed with the seasons!

We followed up the reading with a discussion of the seasons and how they encompass different months and holidays, like Halloween. I now know what all the kids are dressing up as (and was happy to hear that one will be a Ghostbuster ... nice to know they're still around).

Finally, we watched some old-school Sesame Street videos with songs about the seasons. Enjoy!
