55. Apples, art, poetry and STEM: Exploring the Four Seasons Music and More Curriculum.

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.
