Pumpkin Learning!

This week we took some time to learn about pumpkins! We started the week by thinking about our schema and created an anchor chart. The students told me what they already knew and we added it to the chart. I read a nonfiction book by Gail Gibbons and then we discussed our new learning. We also compared and contrasted apples and pumpkins with a partner and then came together as a class to share what we came up with. Students made their own pumpkin and labeled the parts of the outside. We also sequenced the growth from seed to pumpkin with a cute little sequencing activity. We read several pumpkin stories and of course our weekly poem was about pumpkins as well!
