Pumpkin Day!
Dear Families,
On Monday, October 31st we will celebrate Pumpkin Day. We have been learning about life cycles and harvest this week and will investigate pumpkins too.
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 some 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 make sure pumpkins are no larger than your child’s head!!
Please send to school by Friday , October 28th (if Monday works better, that’s fine- just let me know by Friday so I know if I need to get more over the weekend).
Thank you,
