Class Experience

This is a hands-on sensory camp!!! Must love to get messy! 
Day One: We will have introductions and share with the class your favorite thing about pumpkins. We will read, "How Big Could Your Pumpkin Grow" by Wendell Minor. Then we will carve and scoop out the pumpkin insides (this will need adult help). Next we will measure out our ingredients for the "volcano". Teacher will lead group in constructing the explosion. 
Day Two: We will read, "How Many Seeds In A Pumpkin" by Margaret McNamara. Then we will create our very own pumpkin slime with adult help! While they play with their slime, teacher will read, " Pumpkin Jack" by Will Hubbell.
