Main:

Say:

  • Many people think about picking apples or pumpkins in autumn.  This is because autumn is the time when the fruits and vegetables that were grown all summer need to be picked.
  • Farmers who grow different fruits, vegetables and even grains need to get them picked or harvested before it gets too cold and they die or go bad.
  • Harvesting is a lot of work for farmers.  Farmers usually spend weeks harvesting all of the things that they have grown.
  • They then need to store them so that they will last for many months to feed animals and people.
  • Today, we are going to read a poem called, “Autumn Means Harvest.”  Raise your hand if you have read a poem before.
  • A poem tells a story or explains about something and it usually rhymes.  The poem that we are going to be reading today is about a harvest.
