September - November is a great time to think about this storytime.
Active Poem: Autumn
Autumn winds begin to blow; (blow) Colored leaves fall fast and slow. (Fall motion with fingers) Twirling, whirling all around. (turn self around) Till at last, they touch the ground. (Fall to the ground or touch your feet with your fingers)
