Turkeys and Pumpkins!

It feels like fall is flying by! The kids loved learning about pumpkins and turkeys!

Rhyming turkeys - we used our rhyming house to help us complete this project.

Sorting what flies and what doesn't - the kids loved discovering that turkeys, ducks, and flamingos can fly.

Turkey alphabet hunt - I hung up turkeys all over the room that had a letter on their bodies and the kids went on a hunt to find them and color in that feather on their clipboard turkey.

Pumpkins

  • tear art pumpkins

  • non-fiction pumpkin writing

Pumpkin Palooza

  • The kids have a booklet that they carry with them to each center to document what they have learned at that table. The kids go through 6 centers for about 5 minutes each. It was a blast!
  1. measuring the circumference of a pumpkin with yarn
  2. seeing if a pumpkin sinks or floats
  3. measuring our height with pumpkins
  4. measuring the weight of pumpkins
  5. counting the ribs on a pumpkin with white crayons
  6. feeling and describing the pulp inside a pumpkin
Happy Halloween! I finally dressed up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Still can't believe I was able to teach kindergarten all day like this!

Our Red Ribbon Week Door

The 2019 theme was "Send a message, stay drug free" So the kids came up with different things they can do to be healthy, safe, and drug free. They choose how they wanted to send their message!
