Pumpkins 
Pumpkins Galore
We charted what we knew about pumpkins (previous knowledge) and then listed new facts we learned about pumpkins, using the pumpkin chart paper.
We also read about the life cycle of a pumpkin.  The students then matched up the correct sentences to the pictures and sequenced it on a sentence strip. 
  We read two different stories, Pumpkin Pumpkin, and Its Pumpkin Time.  Then we compared and contrasted the two books using a Venn Diagram.
Pumpkins Pumpkins Pumpkins!

The students wrote 3 new facts they learned about pumpkins.  Then they assembled their own pumpkin diagram.  We discussed how diagrams help us learn about something using labels and pictures.
*The students LOVED seeing that people use giant pumpkins as boats!
