Pumpkin Research
This week we worked with partners on our pumpkin research. Students picked their partner that they wanted to work with and researched pumpkins using books. They had to work with their partner to decide what they wanted to draw about pumpkins and then on one piece of paper they together created a picture. We are still ironing out the kinks but overall it went pretty well. The students favorite part was getting to share their work with the class. Then after we had each group share we connected our ideas with ideas previously shared which the students loved helping me with. I often heard "well this connects to... so lets connect our card to theirs!"

Free Art Time
This past wednesday we had a special treat when I introduced the class to free art time. During one of our stations students truly got to create whatever they wanted with almost any art form. I put out coloring sheets, blank paper, lined paper, scissors, glue, watercolors, markers and more for students to just have fun and create something wonderful! They loved getting to be in charge and decide for themselves what they wanted to create. I really enjoyed watching them be so creative and take ownership over the art they were creating.
Leaf Hunt
Another activity I love doing in the fall is going on a leaf hunt! We looked for different sizes and shapes of leaves as well as using our senses on our walk. The kids really enjoyed it and have bringing me leaves all week to show me cool ones they found!
I promise I will take lots of pictures on Halloween and for our pumpkin experiment. Cheers to a wonderful week ahead!
Best,
Miss Adams
