Mrs. Voss's class created a pumpkin out of the kids individual pumpkins. It made a wonderful, unique pumpkin patch! The small pumpkins have the sequence of how a pumpkin grows from seed to plant.
We listed all the words we could think of that described how a pumpkin looked or felt.
We reread the poem about the Five Little Pumpkins. They remembered the words! Then the kids created a gate with 5 little pumpkins on it. I gave them squares and they had to count out five and round the corners to make a circle. They created the faces and glued it all together. We also had a copy of the poem so they could retell the story when they got home.
These are the ingredients for our pumpkin soup. It cooked in the crock pot all day and smelled really good. Most of the kids liked it and everyone tried at least one "no thank-you bite."
These are the brace maps we created taking a pumpkin from whole and labeling the pieces.
