55. Apples, art, poetry and STEM: Exploring the Four Seasons Music and More Curriculum.
Description
Today we’re sharing a sneak-peek inside our Four Seasons Curriculum. Check out all the details and snag the year-long course at www.clapforclassics.com/fourseasons
We start with a song and a poem, and then our art and STEM teacher share a little introduction of what they will be teaching in the autumn unit. You do not want to miss all the wonderful nature-inspired learning that you and your little one will be doing as you explore the outdoors, use your imagination, sing, and create together.
Music: Way Up High in the Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree,
Two little apples smiled at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could.
DOWN came the apples
Mm-mmm were they good!
Poetry: Autumn Woods by James S. Tippett
I like the woods In autumn
When dry leaves hide the ground,
When the trees are bare
And the wind sweeps by
With a lonesome rushing sound.
I can rustle the leaves
In autumn
And I can make a bed
In the thick dry leaves
That have fallen
From the bare trees
Overhead.
Art: To see photos of the Andy Goldsworthy’s pieces that Ms. Krisanne referenced in this video check do a google search for Andy Goldsworthy’s land art examples.
