Pumpkins

We keep Halloween very low key at School for Little Children. We know that Halloween can be a very overwhelming and frightening holiday for young children. In the Bunny Rabbit class, we focus on pumpkins. This week the children had opportunities to hammer nails into a real pumpkin as a woodworking activity, play with whisks and funnels in orange soapy water, build with pretend bones, decorate paper pumpkins, measure our pumpkin and measure ourselves.

If I had to list all the math and science concepts represented by these activities, it would take me all day - there are so many!
