I have been doing my pumpkin unit with the children. This week our story is about how a plant grows. I decided to elaborate from our pumpkin growth cycle to this weeks story. I thought it would be an easy connection and something that they would enjoy doing. They loved the pumpkins and learning about how they form and grow. I am going to basically do the same with various plants. We will talk about some that produce fruit and some that produce flowers. There are a lot of vocabulary that can also be taught by doing this. That is the part I look forward to. I love teaching children new words, as I like to call them our sparkle words!
