Pumpkin and Halloween Fun!

We have been SUPER busy the past few weeks!  We have been learning all about pumpkins and how they grow.  We became experts and decided to write our own teaching books!  Then we planted our own pumpkins!  We are anxiously looking for growth in our little pumpkin patch!

We are starting our patch from the seeds we dug out of the largest of our classroom pumpkins!

But we didn't plant them all!  Some were for roasting!

We enjoyed our pumpkin seeds, but not nearly as much as we enjoyed our fresh baked pumpkin bread!  Just in case you are wondering, pumpkin bread is even better with your reading buddy!

We learned about how pumpkins grow and even how to eat them, but we also read and wrote some make believe stories about pumpkins!  One of our favorite sources of inspiration was Spookley the Square Pumpkin!

And finally the long awaited holiday arrived--HALLOWEEN!  We celebrated with some witchy writing and a little witches brew!
