Pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins

This morning, our classroom smells like pumpkin! We are taking out the flesh and seeds from a big pumpkin and playing with the seeds and flesh in the sensory bin! The strands look like spaghetti!
We have new paint bags with pumpkin faces and pumpkins with numbers.

We also had a fire drill this morning. Once again, the children did very well.

This afternoon, we read Spookley the Square Pumpkin and discussed what happened in the beginning, middle and end of the story.

We played so much with the pumpkin strands that we made pumpkin juice! :)
