| Pumpkin Unit |
| We start out the unit by making our "Welcome to our Pumpkin Patch," bulletin board. Each child draws a pumpkin on white paper and then paints the pumpkin with orange glitter paint. After a trip to the pumpkin patch, I take a picture of the children with their pumpkin and add it to the bulletin board. On sentence strips each child writes one fact about pumpkins. |
| We also have a class pumpkin. On Halloween we carve our pumpkin and count the seeds. First the children estimate how many seeds they think are in the pumpkin. In small groups they count the seeds into groups of ten. We then count by tens to get the total number of seeds. |

| With the children's pumpkins they chose from the pumpkin patch we do several activities. We weigh and measure the pumpkins. They draw a picture of their pumpkins and write describing words. |
