Baby Pumpkin Week October 27-31

Throughout the week of October 27-31, students participated in a Baby Pumpkin project. Students "adopted" a small pumpkin and cared for it both at school and at home. We used this pumpkin as the subject for various writing activities. We learned how to use descriptive words (adjectives) when writing about our pumpkins and wrote in several genres including adventure stories and non-fiction. The students sharpened their writing skills and had a wonderful time celebrating fall!Mrs. Bean helps students put eyes on their pumpkins. (Most of the eyes fell off!)

Students work hard on their pumpkins' baby books.

This is Aaron's pumpkin's carrier. He named his pumpkin America because he felt it was a strong name.
