We have started this week discussing Pumpkins. First we talked about what we already knew about pumpkins (Elijah said they are orange, Hunter said they have vines, Will told us they grow from seeds, and we all agreed they are fun during the month of October). The discussion about Halloween came up instantly and I took the chance to brush up on the subject of individuality and plant the seed of respect for other cultures and costumes. There are people that do not celebrate or like the same things we do and the kids were so interested and respectful towards the information I was giving them, as Kona said, "We are ALL special!".
After our discussion about the coming up holiday we learned the names of the different parts that make up a pumpkin. They will be able to tell you where all of these are, the poster is taped by the sea star's bulletin. Here is the list of the names we learned: Skin, Stem, Ribs, Pulp or Brains (which they loved! haha), Seeds, and Leaves. We will learn as much as we can before going to the Pumpkin Patch this Friday. We are cutting up a pumpkin tomorrow and getting more into details with the subject as the week progresses. Should be an adventurous week. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for the interesting stories that will be coming home.
