October has been the month for pumpkins in Kindergarten!
We kicked off our pumpkin unit by reading my all time favorite pumpkin book--Spookley the Square Pumpkin! Then we created some Spookley inspired art work and writing of our own!
We used lots of different shapes, colors, and patterns to create our pumpkin patches, and I think that we can all agree that sometimes it's better to be square!
We also began a new investigation that seemed to raise a lot of questions!
Check out the object of our inquiry!
Were these really pumpkins? Could pumpkins really be different colors and sizes?
A little research helped us find the answer!
It turns out pumpkins can be tons of different shapes and sizes! Some pumpkins are even blue! We found out that that Spookley patch was a little closer to real life than any of us had thought!
We continued researching and found out more about how pumpkins grow and began creating our own teaching books to show the pumpkin life cycle.
Next we painted our own pumpkins (it may have been a paper plate) and colored sequencing cards to build our own pumpkin life cycles.
Be on the look out for Pumpkins Part 2 to see the finished product and even more pumpkin inspired learning!
