Crisscross Applesauce

While browsing the children's section in Barnes & Noble the other day, I came across this adorable book for incoming kinders:


It has several super cute poems about various aspects of the school day, such as lunch time, recess, and nap/rest time. My favorite poem, however, is a great classroom management tool for teaching expectations for sitting on the carpet :

Crisscross applesauce, that's the way we sit.
Not feet-out sauerkraut.
Not cottage cheese on your knees.
Not bottoms-up coffee cup.
Not blueberry jelly on your belly.
But crisscross applesauce, that's the way we sit!

I also found this neat song on YouTube that's similar: Crisscross Applesauce. How cool is that?
