We had fun decorating a pumpkin using markers and practicing our fine motor skills! The nice thing is when each child was done, the marker washed off with a wet paper towel and the next child was able to start with a clean pumpkin! We have had some very creative pumpkin designs!
During group time, we talked about descriptive words. Each child had a chance to touch the pumpkin and tell the class a word to describe it. We used our "turtle talk" to stretch out each word so we could hear the sounds and I could write them down! We tried to read the words by remembering what our friends had said and looking at first letter in the word!
Did you notice our pumpkin is full of black stuff? We are doing a science experiment! We cut the top off of the pumpkin and left all the seeds and guts inside. We worked together to fill the pumpkin with dirt and added some water. Each child made predictions of what we thought might happen. We aren't sure if little pumpkins are going to grow, or maybe the pumpkin will explode like a volcano? Maybe the pumpkin will grow new pumpkins and they will explode out of the big one, or maybe it will grow flowers! We drew our predictions in our pumpkin books and are very excited to see what will happen!!
