Happy Wednesday!
Today was our first day with students this week, which felt a bit odd! Monday was a teacher work day, and yesterday was a day off for the election. It never fails...no matter how productive I am on teacher work days, I always feel like I leave with a bigger to-do list than when the day began!
Our class has been enjoying lots of fun pumpkin activities. We cut open a pumpkin to study the inside. We learned about the parts of a pumpkin, and then made a giant diagram to show each part. We scooped out the seeds and pulp with our hands. Messy!! Today, we predicted how many seeds were inside our pumpkin. We then grouped the seeds by ten, and counted how many we had in all. The results were surprising!
We also made a visual to help us understand the number of seeds.
Last week we had our "Fall Harvest" party in lieu of a Halloween party. The students played a fall bingo game, decorated jack-o-lantern cookies, and played "Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin".
I've been compiling a pumpkins unit with all of our games and activities. To check it out, head over to my TPT store!
Thank you for sharing the pictures of all of your fun activities. =)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about teacher workdays and ending up with a bigger to-do list!
Be sure and add a follow button when you get the chance. You can go to design at the top of your blog and then layout. Choose add a gadget and the follow button is the 9th one.
I would love for you to hop over and visit me when you get the chance. =)

Thanks for the advice, glad you like the blog! I'm heading over to yours now! :)
ReplyDeleteYou might also want to add the follow button where all of the pictures/profile pictures are. You added the follow by email button. Both are good to have. =)

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I looked at the 9th one down on the list of gadgets, but it was a list of my followers. How do I put the follow button where the pictures are?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your help!! :)
Well, my daughter was in kindergarten 2 years ago and for Halloween they had the costume parade and then a class party where there were treats and arts & crafts projects set up. One of the projects I remember was decorating those little decorative pumpkin gourds with yarn and craft eyes and such.

I love the gourd idea, that's really cute! Maybe I will have to try it next year!
