Creating a Pumpkin Patch

Our apple orchard made a few transformations 
and turned into a pumpkin market.
The children have been having so much fun exploring 
and playing with REAL pumpkins, gourds, and Indian corn.
 We have been comparing apples and pumpkins to notice similarities and differences. 
Using the scales to weigh them was something new and so fun!
Thank you to all who helped stock our little country market:)
The country market clerks practice using their listening and speaking skills to assist customers.
Bakers have been busy preparing delicious fall pies.

Pumpkin pie may sound delicious, but 
have you ever tasted a crayon pie?
This week we took it a step further and 
turned our pretend lab into a real pumpkin patch.
One morning when the children arrived at school, the pumpkin market had a brown patch of paper on the floor. 
Hmmmm... I wonder what that could be for?
There just happened to be green streamers and yellow tissue paper nearby and of course, we always have gluesticks and liquid glue, so...
It didn't take long before the kids got busy creating.
 Can't forget to plant new pumpkin seeds.
One idea inspired another and after one session of center time and LOTS of collaborative team work... a pumpkin patch was born!
