Pumpkin Patch in Pre-K

One of the most joyful things to witness in pre-k is 
little children using their imaginations.

Using real props adds to the fun and 

the play becomes even more rich.

The world comes alive and real-world skills are being practiced in abundance; problem solving, negotiating, turn-taking, patience, social skills, collaborating, sharing, not to mention all the literacy and math skills that occur naturally in this setting.

(Check-out the patience these little shoppers have while waiting in the long line.)

Our apple orchard transformed into a 

pumpkin patch country market. 

The new register we got at the rummage sale 

even has a scanner... so cool!!

The children sort pumpkins according to size and even color.

When it is clean-up time, the gourds and pumpkins need to be sorted into the different bushel baskets.

The hayrides have been a lot of fun... 

muscle-power runs this tractor:)

This hayride idea is a little easier on the muscles!
 "Show me your ticket!"

 

It's so fun to make a purchase at the store and then 

set-up a picnic with friends.

 

 Thanks to all for sending in all the great pumpkins and gourds!!
