Pumpkin Unit from A Teaching Mommy
So many awesome printables, so little time! Madonna of A Teaching Mommy has outdone herself with this fun autumn pumpkin lesson plan. Autumn is just around the corner, so be sure to visit her blog and for these awesome downloads. Here's a sneak peek at our favorite activities...
Life Cycle of a Pumpkin
After going over the pumpkin life cycle, perhaps through a story {Madonna suggests From Seed to Pumpkin and It's Pumpkin Time!}, have students paste the cards in proper sequence on a paper plate. This hands-on activity is a great way to reinforce concepts learned.
Pumpkin Vine Measuring
Invite your kiddos to explore measuring with non-standard units - pumpkins! In each problem, students must use pumpkin cutouts to measure the vine on the page, determine how many pumpkins long it is, and select the appropriate numeral from the answer bank. Along with measuring, this is a great way to strengthen counting and number recognition skills as well.
Head on over to A Teaching Mommy for these and other fantastic fall activity printables!
