We had so much fun learning about pumpkins this week! We learned that pumpkins start as seeds and then grow into sprouts. The sprouts turn into vines and on the vines grow flowers. These flowers develop into little green pumpkins. Then the green pumpkins grow into the big pumpkins we can carve into jack-o-lanterns.

We also made a Pumpkin Patchwork Quilt for each class. We started with all squares and had to use scissors to trim the corners off to make circular pumpkin heads and eyes. We also cut out our own stems and added teeth to the mouths if we wanted them.

Our field trip was a blast! It was the first time on a school bus for many of our friends. At the farm we saw animals including goats, donkeys, llamas, a calf, a pig, a sheep, bunnies, a Saint Bernard dog named Hans, and cats with kittens.
We took a hayride through the pumpkin patch and saw pumpkins that were orange, white, yellow, striped, bumpy and more!
There was a spooky barn maze too. When we clapped really loud, we made ghosts fly, cats meow, and witches cackle. Be sure to check our our photo gallery page...we have tons of photos!!!
