Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

Our Pumpkin Week

This is our "Board" for the week.

I review this everyday.

We decided to add to our board the

Pumpkin Life Cycle Cards:

Here are some of the activities we have done:

I cut out a pumpkin from orange felt and then

pieces to make a Jack-O-Lantern from green

and yellow felt.  He made a Christian pumpkin

based on our memory verse, but he wanted it

to have a sad face! LOL 

 

During our snack, I had him make his own

Pumpkin Patch! I had bought little foam

pumpkin pieces and he drew the faces on them.

Then glued them to a green foam sheet. 

This was a GREAT worksheet.

Snag it from 2 Teaching Mommies

in their Pumpkin Pack!

Part of the Raising Rock Stars Preschool 

Pumpkin Seed Counting & Puzzles

He LOVED this!!!

We also did SCIENCE stuff:

• Pumpkin Observations
  I used the worksheet from 2 Teaching Mommies in their pumpkin pack! GREAT resource!
• Guess how much the pumpkin weighs?
  Took down the guess, then weighed it on a scale.
• Does a pumpkin sink or float?
  Took little pumpkins and put them in the bath tub.
• Pumpkin Life Cycle
  Looked at how a pumpkin starts with a seed, then a sprout, then a plant, then a flower, then a little green pumpkin and then a BIG orange pumpkin.
• What happens when a pumpkin is dropped?
  Definitely do this outside! We took pumpkins outside and dropped them - yes, they did break into smithereens!
• Rotten vs. Good
  I let a pumpkin rot for a week and then we compared it to a ripe pumpkin from the inside out.  This definitely stinks - we did this outside! LOL
  
  
  What kind of stuff did you do for a Pumpkin Week?
