Today was our pumpkin extravaganza! We reviewed all we had learned... pumpkin parts, labeling, adjectives, and sequencing. They of course wanted to get to the fun part! We first took a class vote on how we should carve our pumpkin. We had some great choices to choose from (silly, spooky, happy, etc) all adjectives of course. My morning class decided on a spooky pumpkin, while my afternoon group decided on a scared pumpkin.
I then began to carve the pumpkin while students observed. Each child then had a chance to dig into the pumpkin and take out some pulp and seeds. They each got to describe how it felt. Their faces were priceless! We wrapped up our lesson by writing in our science journals. We wrote about how the pumpkin looked, smelled, felt and what they heard.
Next week we take on our next two week unit BATS :)!
