Home School: Pumpkins

The past two weeks our theme has been pumpkins. I wanted to share some of the pumpkin themed things we did.

To start off here are some of the books we read:

The Runaway Pumpkin

the Biggest Pumpkin Ever

From Seed to Pumpkin (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 1) (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1)

The Pumpkin Patch Parable: Special Edition (Parable Series)

Pumpkin Circle: The Story of a Garden

Pumpkin Soup

How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?

Too Many Pumpkins

Five Little Pumpkins (Harper Growing Tree)

Where Is Baby's Pumpkin?

The Ugly Pumpkin

Some of the activities we did were:

we made pumpkin magnets

We made some pumpkin bread

We painted paper plate pumpkins

We started to learn skip counting by 2's

 Libby is practicing counting by 1's

We finished our week off by carving our pumpkins. We tried to predict how many we thought would be in them and then we actually got down to opening them up.

Bubba was not a big fan of the squishy pumpkin insides. He actually couldn't scoop his out. I had to do it for him. He said it was way to disgusting.

Once our pumpkins were cleaned out we cleaned off the seeds and counted them. We also practiced counting them by 2's.

Once daddy was home from work we carved our pumpkins and then had a marathon of Wizards of Waverly Place Shows.

Overall we had a fun time learning about pumpkins and spending time together. Next week is Book Appreciation week for us and we have lots of fun in stored. I will let you know how that goes:>

Have a Blessed Day!
