Pumpkins Galore!

Room number 12 is full of pumpkins!

 

Thank you so much for the pumpkins that you have donated to our class! We currently have 18 pumpkins for the students to use during our month long unit. Our goal is to have 22 pumpkins (one pumpkin per student) so we are almost there!

The students have already practiced sorting the pumpkins by size, shape and color. We also have practiced placing the pumpkins in order based on the number written on them.

On Tuesday we had 5 pumpkins and placed them in number order!

The students have been learning about describing the parts of the pumpkin, describing the pumpkins using our five senses and the life cycle of a pumpkin.

We have even been practicing our sight words with Pumpkins!

I am not going to show any more pictures in this post because I am hoping to have someone from each family come to open house Tuesday night and see what we have been working on it person! 

If you are able to come you will see your child's work starting from the very beginning of the year!

There will also be a special snack in celebration of our Pumpkin unit!

In other news I am VERY excited to announce that our classroom grant on Donorschoose.org has been fully funded! 

Our new workstation materials should arrive to our classroom by the end of the month! All of us in room #12 want to send a great big THANK YOU to Chevron and Kia for funding our request!

 

We have already learned so much about pumpkins (just wait and see at Open House!) but we have plenty more to cover! We will continue this week; however I will be out of class on Thursday, Friday and the following Monday to attend my little sisters wedding in Ohio. When I return the following week we will pick up right where we left off!

Again I hope to see all of you Tuesday night at 6:00 pm for Open House!
