Fall Fun

PUMPKIN PATCH

The middle school student hosted a fun morning of reading, singing, planting pumpkin seeds, and so much more for our preschool students. Each middle school student wrote and illustrated a sweet book for their pumpkin patch buddy and read it to them while we were there visiting. They helped them pick a pumpkin that they actually grew and then talked to us about the life cycle of a pumpkin. Thank you, middle school kiddos, for everything you did on Halloween for our class.

PUMPKIN MATH & SCIENCE

Pumpkin math & science was a big hit with the children. First, the boys and girls used yarn to measure the circumference around the largest pumpkin. Next, they estimated the number of lines on the pumpkin. Various answers were given, and Caleb was the winner with an estimation of 22 . Estimations were also given with regard to the weight of the pumpkin. Ace came closet with his estimation of 5 pounds. Finally, we tallied who thought the pumpkin would float in water, and those who thought it would not float. To our amazement it floated! Hands on learning is always the best!

Sorting and Graphing

Sorting & graphing helps children look at numbers in different ways. Starting them with graphs when they are young helps them count items quickly, organize, compare, and discuss information. We used skittles on a turkey body to make graphing fun!
