In my effort to find a song about autumn for my students, I stumbled upon this site. The song is multicultural and the site is more than I expected. All of the activities are about the autumn season. It teaches about nature, incorporates literacy through karaoke and read-a-long stories, contains quizzes and games and has a video with a written narration. Lots of things are printable and it even has a spot where you can send a picture and/or story about nature in your area to them. There's a vocabulary section too. Your students can print out a personalized club card, a book cover to create their own book about nature and a certificate that can be given at the end of the project. It's interactive and a great way for students to read, discover and create. This site is geared toward the elementary level student. It incorporates earth science, music, reading and writing, as well as technology skills. It utilizes multi-intelligences and can be used as a tool for differentiated instruction. You can even learn about the season as it is presented from around the world with entries from other countries. The site is generated from the UK and teaches about multi-cultural awareness also. Check it out! It's educational, fun and inviting. Enjoy!

Interesting in that the actual karaoke takes place in India where I wouldn't think has much change during the autumnal season. That being said, it offers a different perspective from another culture so I think that is very beneficial to a student's growth. It seems like there's a great deal of information contained on the site, and transgresses different subject matter. That's always an added bonus.
Thanks for sharing Marianne. I liked the "In your Patch" section, where kids could send in photos of what is occurring in their own specific locale in autumn. This gives students a great opportunity to see the way autumn affects all different parts of the world.
Thank you for this excellent resource!!
