SALTY
SWEET
As a farewell to Fall and the month of October, the PreK class explored the interesting parts of some of our classroom’s pumpkins. We opened up some of our Science Center’s ghords and pumpkins and learned about each one of their different parts. From the gooey pulp inside and the curving ribbed lines outside, we really enjoyed taking a closer look at the pumpkins. Once we were finished exploring the kids were given lables and their own picture of a pumpkin. Together we takled about all of its parts and put each lable next to its corresponding part. We also have our pumpkins and ghords in the sensory table this week, the children can have one last chance to scoop out the seeds and gooey insides!
taking inventory
the anatomy of a pumpkin
how fun is this!
This morning the sensory table was full of slimy pumpkin seeds and a big old pumpkin! The kids loved looking inside of the pumpkin and some were even brave enough to stick their hand inside to feel around! It was sure a slimy mess!
practice with letter recognition and developing fine motor skills
Today we made the first name of each child’s name with pumpkin seeds! We guided them as they traced their letter with glue and then they placed the pumpkin seeds on their pumpkin. Walter is making a “W” for Walter! This is great practice for letter recognition.
