Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

The rest of October has been filled with Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!  We have been learning about the life-cycle of a Pumpkin and what it needs to grow.  Here are some things we have done:
We created "Candy-Corn People!"



Thank you to our wonderful Doane Student, Mr. Mclintic for being brave and painting pumpkins with us! :)  We tried to keep most of it on the paper and not on ourselves!


In Math we created Haunted Houses with Ghosts to practice writing our numbers and showing quantities! 




We spent two days learning about spiders.  We learned about their characteristics (2 body parts, 8 legs, not insects, etc.), read books, sang songs.  Many of the boys enjoyed talking about Spiders! 



We read the book, 5 Little Pumpkins in the Math.  We acted out the story and learned the poem.  Then we created this projects to practice writing our numbers.

In Science, we read the book Pumpkin Circle.  It teaches the life-cycle of a pumpkin with real-life pictures.  We then created this Pumpkin Circle to remember the life-cycle.

On Wednesday we will be having our Fall Celebration!  We will carve pumpkins and play Fall/Halloween games!  Remember, NO Halloween Costumes to school.  Happy Fall!!
