The Days of Pumpkins, Fall Color, and Fun!

We have been having fun with pumpkins in first grade! On Monday we dissected them, finding their gooey, slimy guts to be quite exciting! Speaking of "gooey" and "slimy," today we learned about adjectives. Students used their newly carved Jack 'O Lanterns to create lists of describing words. They eventually used them in their writing. It has already been a wonderful week, and we are looking forward to viewing our pumpkin photos in a writing project this Thursday.
