Here we go round the apple tree,
The apple tree, the apple tree.
Here we go round the apple tree,
So early in the morning.

Teasing Farmer Brown "Can't Pick Me,"
Along came Farmer Brown as quiet as can be,
And he picked one apple right out of that tree!
4 Little Apples hanging in a tree,
Teasing Farmer Brown "Can't Pick me,"
Along came Farmer Brown as quiet as can be,
And he picked one apple right out of that tree!
3 Little Apples hanging from a tree,
Teasing Farmer Brown "Can't pick me,"
Along came Farmer Brown as quiet as can be,
And he picked one apple right out of that tree!
2 Little Apples hanging in a tree,
Teasing Farmer Brown "Can't pick me,"
Along came Farmer Brown as quiet as can be,
And he picked one apple right out of that tree!
1 Little Apple hanging in a Tree,
Teasing Farmer Brown "Can't pick me,"
Along came Farmer Brown as quiet as can be,
And he picked that apple right out of that tree!
No more apples hanging in the tree,
Farmer Brown picked them and shared one with me,
The rest are in a pie, as warm as can be,
Topped with yummy ice cream and served with tea!

This is the tree With leaves so green.(make leaves with fingers outstretched)
Here are the apples
That hang in between.(make fist)
When the wind blows (blow)
The apples will fall, (falling motion with hand)
Here is the basket to gather them all. (use arms to form basket)
Purchase sand from your local pet store (I use the kind for reptiles it is thin and soft) or hardware store. Place in Ziploc bags and add gel food coloring or mix part water and a few drops of regular food coloring and pour into the bag. Zip the bag shut and massage the color through the sand.
Fold a coffee filter in half and cut out apple shape. Fold in half again and dip the edges into a mixture of water and red food coloring (use green and yellow for different colored apples). Unfold and allow to dry. Add leaves and stem. Hang on the windows.
Cut a paper towel roll in half and paint it brown. Paint a small paper plate green, allow to dry and glue small red pom poms to it. Cut a slit on both sides of the paper towel roll and insert the plate.
Bring some Positive Reinforcement to your classroom by making this easy fish bowl from poster Board and laminating. Add a fishing pole with yarn. When you "catch" a child doing something good like sharing, being kind etc their fish goes into the fish bowl. At the end of the day I get my "basket" of treats and have the children gather around to announce who was caught being good and what they did. Those children receive a "big" round of applause and a special treat from the basket!
After reading The Apple Pie Tree, create your own scented apple pie using paper plates! Paint both paper plates brown and after it is dry mix a bit of glue and water to thin it out and paint it across the top. Sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar and let dry. Add slits in the middle with a black marker and glue the two plates together to make the pie complete. Smells yummy!
Tune to :Insey Weensy Spider
The tiny little apple seed
was planted in the ground,
down came the rain,
falling all around,
out came the sun,
as bright as bright can be,
and the tiny little Appleseed became an apple tree!
