It's one of my favorite times of the year...fall! I love everything about fall, even though I don't get much of the fall experience in Las Vegas! So, to make up for it, I always do a fun pumpkin unit to get my kids into a fall frame of mind.
The unit consists of:
|
Using nonfiction pumpkin texts... |
|
Observing and using real pumpkins... |
|
Making estimates and recording actual findings... |
|
and finally, eating delicious pumpkin foods! |
The students take notes, draw diagrams, make estimates, and keep track of all their information in handy pumpkin books which can be found at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store:
