Pumpkin Fun!


 We have had a blast the last two weeks!
It's been all about PUMPKINS!!!
Check out some of our projects!

We read Pumpkin, Pumpkin by Jeane Titherington.
Then, we retold the story and changed the ending.
Instead of the character, Jamie, picking the pumpkin...
we replaced his name with our name!
The pumpkin grew, and grew, and grew, until KEIRA picked it!
In science, we began our KWL chart on pumpkins.
What we know, what we want to know, and what we learned (KWL)

We will complete this on Friday--listing the
 things we learned about pumpkins.
Our scrapbook paper pumpkins are on display in our hallway.
Very cute!



Here is our circle map that describes pumpkins.
On Tuesday, we did a writing activity where we
found a picture in a magazine that we
 had some type of connection to.
Then, we cut the picture out and pasted it in our journals.
Our objective was to come up with a sentence
 that would describe what is
happening in our magazine picture.
After we wrote, we shared our writing with a friend.
Our class did an amazing job on our writing pieces.
Also, we created a picture of the
different parts of the pumpkin plant.
We labeled each part.
Here is Trystin with her plant part picture.
During pumpkin rotation on Monday,
we mixed pumpkin bread batter to bake.
Mrs. Shelby cooked the batter and we ate
pumpkin bread on Tuesday.
Jacob liked the pumpkin bread!
Paige enjoyed it too!
20 little thumbs up for pumpkin bread!!!
