We have had a couple of weeks filled with pumpkins!

First we started out observing a variety of pumpkins and use descriptive language to talk about them. Students used all of their senses to talk about the pumpkins. Next we recorded what we noticed about the pumpkins as well things we wondered. Add a pumpkin drawing and our anchor chart was very attractive.

Next came the pumpkin patch! This experience included a read aloud, a virtual field trip, and the creation of our own pumpkin patch!

Some bigger pumpkins arrived in our class and as we cut them open we learned about the parts of a pumpkin and developed oral and written language as we labelled a picture and talked about the real pumpkins.

Math happened as we scooped out the seeds and made predictions about which pumpkin contained the most seeds. We used a balance scale to help with our predictions and then began making rows of seeds to count.

There were lots of stories read and songs sang, all about pumpkins! Here are some of our favourites:
