In the Pumpkin Patch!

This week we are learning about pumpkins! We learned the life cycle of a pumpkin, washed pumpkins, measured pumpkins, scooped the seeds out, painted pumpkins, played pumpkin games, and made pumpkin artwork. Tomorrow is our trick-or-treat day, and I cannot wait to see all of the fantastic costumes!

Our poem of the week is:
(Sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")

I am a pumpkin
Orange and round
Here is my stem
And here is the ground.
When I get all cut up,
Don't you shout.
Just open me up
And scoop me out.

Using our 5 senses to describe the pumpkins

Measuring pumpkins

Painting witches hands and casting spells!


We painted pumpkins and played games with jack-o-lantern balloons!

Washing pumpkins on the sensory bin
