Today we started our week long unit on pumpkins. We started out the week reading a nonfiction book about the life cycle of a pumpkin. The book was a simple text that described the different parts of a pumpkin as it goes through it's life cycle. I used this opportunity to introduce the students to the brace map. A brace map is a thinking map that is used to show parts of a whole. We made these cute parts of a pumpkin brace maps using construction paper to demonstrate our learning.
Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is the last day to send in the tiny pumpkin to be used for Pumpkin Day. If your child has not already brought their pumpkin to school please make sure they have it tomorrow. The pumpkin must be a handheld size as in the image below. Thanks!
