Pumpkin Patch Field Trip
What an absolutely amazing day we had at the pumpkin patch Friday! So many memories were made and it was wonderful getting to see students making life connections about the pumpkin facts we learned in class. The exclamations of "Look Miss Adams that's the flower growing on the vine! That means a green pumpkin is coming next!" It was music to my ears, not to mention the countless laughs that I heard over the course of getting stuck in the mud and the kids coercing me to go into the Dark Maze with them :) All in all what an enjoyable day we had! Enjoy this post about all the amazing pumpkin crafts and activities we did this week! |

10 Little Pumpkins Bulletin Board
After learning the poem 10 little pumpkins the students and I did what is called shared writing together to write out the poem. Then we made that writing into a bulletin board where students got to display their hard work and make pumpkins to illustrate the poem. Students are so proud of their work and love showing it off to anybody new who enters our class. Here is what the final product looks like! |

Field Trip T-Shirts
Another fun art project we did this week was decorating our class t-shirts to wear for the pumpkin patch. We will also use them as art smocks! Students started by painting a skin colored circle on their shirt. Then they got to draw their self portrait onto the shirt with washable markers and finally I puff painted their marker lines to make them permanent. Below you can see the process that we went through to make the shirts. The students loved them and I am so excited to use them all year! |
