On Friday, October 31st we will celebrate Pumpkin Day. We have been learning about pumpkins and their life cycle this week and will conclude our studies with Pumpkin Day. Please help your child dress in orange-colored clothing on this day to celebrate!
We will not be having a “Halloween” party or be changing into costumes. Please do not send your child to school with costumes or masks, etc. Halloween can be a controversial holiday and many of our school families do not choose to participate in its festivities.
We will be doing many fun math, science, and art activities with our pumpkins. We will be weighing, measuring, rolling and floating our pumpkins. We will also be doing art projects and other fun activities!
You can help make our learning engaging and hands on by donating a miniature (ornamental), small, or medium-sized pumpkin for your child to use. If you would like to donate a pumpkin to our class as an extra, it would be appreciated.
Please send to school by Wednesday, October 29th.
