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.
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!
