This Fall poem for kids can also become a personalized song for kids.  When singing in the tune of "Farmer in the Dell", simply replace the word "me", with a students' name.  This leaves poem is the perfect introduction to your leaves lessons and activities.  Students can go on a leaf scavenger hunt, create a leaf graph, journal about leaves, and retell the poem using leaves as props.  How stinkin' cute!
