This year we went straight from the oven (85 degrees in our UN AIR CONDITIONED classrooms) to.... FALL! So... with it.... I leaped straight from BACK TO SCHOOL thoughts of procedures and expectations.... to.... PUMPKINS!
Yes... I totally hopped, skipped, and JUMPED right over the standard "apples" and "bees" that I usually begin with...
Finally, that fresh cool breeze blew in and made me think it was fall.... at least for the moment.... in a blink... Old Man Winter will blow in and we will be talking about the deep freeze that will blanket our every waking breathing thought...... but for now.... for a moment...
LET THERE BE PUMPKINS!!!!!
My students are so excited about this... I have been tiptoeing in with a pumpkin a day and we have been reading fiction and non-fiction books about the topic.... and.... as I am prone to do.... I could not even HELP myself ..... I sketched a little on the board.....
Thought I would share....
Cheers!
