October is here and so is the fall season! One fun fall activity is pumpkin picking. We will do some pumpkin picking in class this week, as we will be learning all about pumpkins. We will explore the life cycle of a pumpkin plant, count pumpkin seeds and sing the, “Five Little Pumpkins” fingerplay. We will read stories about pumpkin picking and create some orange pumpkin crafts. We will observe the physical properties of pumpkins and gourds and play with pumpkin pie playdough. We will praise God for pumpkins through the song, “My God Is So Great.” It should be a fun week of pumpkin activities.
