Learning about Pumpkins

Avannie has started preschool today!!!  And she loved it!  

First Day of School with her "Happy Face"

First we sang some songs, spun the weather wheel, did the calendar, did some letter phonics (ZooPhonics), and then had the lesson about pumpkins.  How do pumpkins grow?  We read a book explaining the process.  Then: pumpkin counting. story about Spencer the Tiger and his pumpkin, a song about pumpkins sitting on a fence, dissecting a pumpkin and feeling the guts and the seeds, a snack of whole grain/low sugar pumpkin muffins, a craft to make little jack-o-lanterns, and then play time.  

The Class:  Lydia, Jihoo, Avannie, and Tony

 It was so much fun to watch these little kids learn!  Yes, they got side-tracked but it was still so fun!

Avannie is the oldest of the bunch - born in June.  Then Lydia and Tony are in October followed by little Jihoo.
