On circle we reviewed the lessons that were presented on line this week: lifecycle of a pumpkin, pumpkin scrubbing, jack-o-lantern face matching, and jack-o-lantern nomenclature. We also presented a new lesson from the math area: pumpkin counting. The children counted pumpkins on cards and used a clothes pin to mark the correct numeral.
The children had a great time during our playtimes. They enjoyed the cool breeze the cooler weather brought.
Today we worked with a jack-o-lantern nomenclature lesson. We learned that a pumpkin can turn into a jack-o-lantern by giving it eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The children can also make a booklet to share the parts of a jack-o-lantern at home.
