Class Experience

In this one-time class, we will read the fun, fall story, "It's Pumpkin Time!" by Zoe Hall.  In this story we will read about the life cycle of a pumpkin in the main characters' "jack-o'-lantern patch!"  We will talk about Halloween, jack-o'-lanterns, and the life cycle of a pumpkin.  

Next, we will make our very own paper plate pumpkin with the life cycle on the vine of the pumpkin.  Students will color and cut out the "leaves" of the vine which each have a picture and the name of each stage of a pumpkin's life cycle.  Students may color and cut out the leaves before class.

I look forward to having your child in my class to learn about pumpkins and their life cycles!
