AND MORE PUMPKINS!!

We continued our pumpkin observations in French today by carving the tops of the large and small pumpkins.  Many observations were made such as "They smell!".  Maverick showed me two seeds and said "une grosse graine et une petite graine".  Markus observed that "the seeds look like they could be planted to make a huge pupmkin!"

The children enjoyed touching, smelling and making observations of the insides of the pumpkin.

Through these activities, the children really understood the meaning of the words citrouille (pumpkin), graines (seeds), petit et grand (small and big).

I found a few more French Autumn videos, ENJOY!!

And finally, what to do when we can't go outside??  After tidying up after play time, we did a 5 minute disco posted below (have fun trying it at home).

Then we did some table top activities.  Everyone was very focused and worked very quietly.
