This week we talked about pumpkins and how they grow. It’s a
new month which means that we have a new dramatic play center and a new sensory
bin! This month our dramatic play center is a pumpkin patch. The kids have had
so much fun pretending to grow and pick pumpkins! Our sensory bin is filled
with pine cones, leaves, and gourds.
We read the book “Spookley the Square Pumpkin” on Tuesday.
Pumpkins of all shapes grew in this book, “…some were cubes, and some were
rectangular. Some were flat, and others triangular.” The project was patterning
our shape “pumpkins” (triangle, circle, & square). This project came home
in our backpack; did you see our hard work? We will have many more patterning
projects this year, but it never hurts to practice this at home. 
On Wednesday we worked on our October book page. Each month
the kids draw a picture of themselves along with writing their name. At the end
of the year you will see these drawings and watch how their pictures have
improved over the year. We also took our school pictures. It was a pretty crazy
day as you can see.
Thursday’s
project was labeling parts of a pumpkin. We learned that a pumpkin starts as a
seed and grows into a vine that sprouts flowers. Did you know pumpkins are
green when they start to grow? Your 4K-er does, ask them about it while you
look at their pumpkin project that came home today.
We hope you have a great weekend!!
