Pumpkin Week

This week we are doing a pumpkin lapbook that I found online for free.
We are going to be reading different pumpkin books and everyday we'll be doing different activities from the lapbook and then putting them all together. To finish the week, we'll be going to the Pumpkin patch with the kids from COOP and on Saturday Renfrew park is having a Pumpkin festival and hopefully we'll get to go to that as well!
Today we read a book about Christopher Columbus. Since today we are celebrating Columbus Day I wanted the kids to have some idea of who he was and why this is such an important day in history. They also got to color the ships and A6 drew Columbus arriving at the beach, just like the picture from the book.
We only did about an hr of school this morning since all the kids are around and wanting to play with my kids. Tomorrow we will start our pumpkin week! We'll also be doing all of the other stuff as well, math, phonics & handwriting.
