Sing Five Little Scarecrows by loving2learn.com
Five Little Scarecrows by the old barn door;
One went home
And then there were four.
Four little scarecrows
By the old oak tree;
One went home
And then there were three.
Three little scarecrows
With nothing to do;
One went home
And then there were two.
Two little scarecrows
Out in the sun;
One went home
And then there was one.
One little scarecrow
Out in the field;
One wasn’t fun
So then there were NONE!
Identify your feelings and help your child identify their feelings each day with this fall feelings chart.
