Reading Together

After you've read through Autumn in the Forest once, read it again teaching the children the sounds of the animals: honk, honk for the geese, ribbitt ribbit for the frog then SLAP for the tail of the beaver, the high keening of a hawk, the chirp-chirpping of a chipmunk or squirrel, the snoring of a sleeping bear and finally, the SILENCE of the weasel, (nice way to end.)  Be sure to use your silence gesture  after each sound. I use a palm down sliding gesture. (The kids will love watching you as the "conductor" and will probably do a lot of honk-honking outside later.) Practice first.
