Pumpkins

This week was a super busy week! I did not get to go as in depth as I usually do with pumpkins because of our field trip. However, we did cover a lot of ground. The pictures below are an activity I saw on Pinterest. I modified it to work in our class room. First, we painted orange circles on paper. Then, we let our paint dry. The next day we added the stem, eyes, mouth, and teeth as a "Listen and Do" activity. This is what your children created. I love to see each and every one!! Every child creates something different with the same materials, and I just love it!!

Paper tear pumpkins are one of my favorite pumpkin activities!! I love to see what each child will create. This is such an important small motor skill that your child is developing!!! The bonus to this skill developing activity, is the very cute art work!!!

Super cute "Pumpkins on the Vine" are your child's stamped knuckles and thumb print. This is a piece of your child frozen in time. I love all things hand print and finger prints. You will see many more this year :-)

Every week I try and have a type of matching game in a center. This week we had to match felt pumpkins!! 

We finally finished our color wheel!!! Thank you for all the items you sent with your child each week. They loved getting to tell about each item. This week we will talk about the color white and that will be the last color that we will cover. Then we will have a color party!! I can't wait!!!! 

Last, but certainly not least, we painted candy corns. This time of year can be a super fun time. I love to bring that into my classroom. I am so proud of each and every one of my students. We are just in October, but everyone has made an enormous amount of progress!!!

I look forward to an amazing week....all about bones!!! See you tomorrow!
