It's Pumpkin Time!

This past Thursday and Friday, I cut open a pumpkin so the children could explore the guts. We talked about the differences between the inside and outside of a pumpkin and the children came up with some great words to describe the pulp (e.g., gooey, slimy).  For Fun Tables, they used construction paper, crepe paper and pumpkin seeds to make a craft that looks like the inside of a pumpkin!

Yesterday and today the we read, We're Going on a Ghost Hunt by Kris Hirschmann and the children used bristol board, foam shapes, lima beans and cotton balls to make haunted houses.  They had a lot of fun doing this project!  The haunted houses will look great on the bulletin board in the classroom!
