Giving Thanks

We started November / Thanksgiving fun this week.

We started by making an I am Thankful For Circle Map.

The students are thankful for many things.

 We created a Kindergarten Thankful Tree.

 

We are writing our own I am thankful for ... book.

I will post about it next week when we are through.

Growing Pumpkins

If you remember the post from last week, we planted the pumpkin seeds we took out of the pumpkin we carved.

Look at them this week.

AMAZING!

The kids were super impressed.

 

Then on Friday we went out and planted

them in the Bear Creek Garden.

We will go out every week and water our pumpkin plant and wait and see what happens.  Cross your finger we can grow a pumpkin.



Making Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin, Pumpkin More Pumpkin

 

This week we made a pumpkin Pie.

We started the week reading

I know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie.

 

Then we made a flow map for How to Make a Pumpkin Pie.

 Then finally we got to make the pumpkin pie.

 

Yum Yum!

 

Then finally we wrote about the experience and

created a pumpkin pie.

How cute are these?

Pumpkin Week

We had a very busy week.

We started the week with bus safety.

They loved it.  They got to sit on the

bus and then jump out the back.

 

 

We carved a pumpkin with the whole Kindergarten

as a start to our week long writing, How to Carve a Pumpkin.

 

Throughout the week the students worked really hard to write a story about How to carve a pumpkin.

After we carved the pumpkin, we planted the seeds.

We can't wait to see if we can grow a pumpkin.

 

We did a science experiment.

Does a pumpkin sink or float?

It floated.

 

On Thursday we had a "Pumpkin Investigation" Day.

We counted the lines and measured the pumpkin.

 We scooped out the seeds and counted them.

 Then we prepared the seeds for roasting.

 Yum! Yum!

 

Finally, we carved the pumpkin.

 

We ended the day Thursday with a ghostly Treat.

This week was also Red Ribbon Week.

 

We wore our favorite jersey, mix match shoes and boots, bright colors, orange and red.  We pledged to live drug free.
