Pumpkins

Last week we started working with pumpkins.  We made observations, labeled the parts of a pumpkin, and learned all about a pumpkin's life cycle.   I am so proud of my amazing observers and how hard they worked learning all about pumpkins over the past week!
 Making observations of our classroom pumpkins
 We also worked on a cute little craft with our favorite pumpkin poem, "Five Little Pumpkins"
 I am so impressed with how much everyone's scissor skills have improved since the beginning of the year!
 These adorable little Pumpkins love this poem and making the cute craft that went with it!
 We also read a great book called, "Room on the Broom" that we used to help us with learning how to retell stories.  I love how each student really thought hard about who they would take on their Brooms!  The pictures turned out great!
 In math we were practicing our 2D shapes using the book, "The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin" to decide and record which shape and color pumpkin we would be if we were a pumpkin in Spookley's patch!
 I love the detail everyone put in their pictures, making sure to include all the parts of a pumpkin we have been talking about all week like the stem and vine!
 Labeling the parts of a pumpkin together!
 I am also extremely impressed with how well everyone did remembering the stages of a pumpkin life cycle after reading a book and watching a clip on how pumpkins grow!
We have been having so much fun with pumpkins, I can't wait to continue all the fun in to this coming week as well!  I hope everyone had a great weekend and I can't wait to see everyone bright and early Monday morning!
