How To Carve

We are preparing for a trip to the pumpkin patch, and we will be bringing home the biggest pumpkin we can find (or that we can carry!) to carve together. This is a great hands on activity that we can use for so many areas of learning.

Here are some of the things we learn with our giant pumpkin:

• Art – Drawing, designing a face, cutting and gluing, various art techniques
• Math – counting seeds, grouping into tens and hundreds, graphing
• Literacy – Writing stories, predictions, opinions; reading each other’s writing, vocabulary
• Science – The pumpkin life cycle, decomposition, cooking the seeds, pumpkin pie
