Thursday:
 |
| Exploring some of our new science items we were able to purchase with donations from the trike-a-thon! |
 |
| Painting pumpkins! We read a fun story about Spookly a square pumpkin and learned that it is wonderful to be different! So we painted unique pumpkins...just like ourselves! |
 |
| More science items! |
 |
| Who likes pumpkin seeds? This gal does! Every kiddo tried them! I was amazed how many loved them and wanted more. We graphed our results! |
 |
| A great fine motor skill. The kiddos used toy hammers and golf tees to hammer into the pumpkins. They then pulled them out. A fun and easy way to strengthen their hands. |
 |
| Letter Pp hunt... |
 |
| What is that smell? Vinegar! The start of our science experiment. We used those candy pumpkins and placed them in the following... |
 |
| vinegar, water, milk, and oil. We then made predictions on what would happen to the pumpkins... |
 |
| The kiddos placed the pumpkins in...We let them sit over night to see what would happen. |
 |
| Group math counting! |
Friday:
 |
| I was amazed this morning with what happened to our pumpkins! I couldn't wait to revisit this with the kiddos! |
 |
| Together we ordered the life cycle of the pumpkins! |
 |
| Our "thumpkin" patch! We used our thumbs to make this special pumpkin patch for you! |
 |
| Learning about the circumference of a pumpkin...We then made predictions how big around we thought the pumpkin was! |
 |
| We then checked our predictions! Was it too long, too short, or just right? |
 |
| This gal was just right! Super job sweet gal! |
 |
| Smelling the insides...and then describing what we smelt! |
 |
| Math staircase counting! My goodness...I want to take a second to tell you that these kiddos blew me away with this activity! I was expecting it to be a bit challenging...but not at all for them! I was one proud teacher! I also sent home the confetti for the kiddos to show you their awesome skills at home! Please take a moment and let them show you how hard they have worked on counting! |
 |
| Also...must I mention that this is a great fine motor task? It is super hard for these sweet fingers to pick those up! |
 |
| More hammering! They loved this activity! |
 |
| What does this feel like? |
 |
| Revisiting our science! Water dissolved the pumpkin... |
 |
| oil preserved the pumpkin! |
 |
| Milk dissolved the pumpkin! And it looks like I forgot to take a picture but vinegar dissolved it too! |
 |
| Checking them out! |
