Pumpkins, Witches and Ghosts, Oh My!

This past week my students had a blast learning about pumpkins!  We did a wide variety of activities, including a trip to the Pumpkin Patch!  Here are just some of the things we did this week...

We learned all about the life cycle of a pumpkin during our daily Read Alouds.

We then created booklets about the life cycle of a pumpkin during language desk work.  Take a look at an example page below!

We practiced taking turns during our Board Games Special Activity with a few rounds of Halloween Bingo!

We had some sensory fun when we made pumpkin spice play dough from scratch!  We also danced (we love dance parties in Room 125) to a different Halloween song each day!

During art, we decorated paper pumpkins to re-create the life cycle of a pumpkin!

We followed a visual recipe to make orange coloured buttermilk pancakes!

We finished off our week with a Halloween celebration!! We watched Halloween Town, had Halloween treats, played “spooky” musical chairs and carved our very own class pumpkin!

Check out our costumes…

And who says you can't unit plan with 5 completely different IEPs…

Keep clam and teach on!
