On Tuesday we read one of my favorite pumpkin stories:
Spookley The Square Pumpkin! If you haven't read this book before, it's an adorable story about a square pumpkin that doesn't fit in with all the round pumpkins. One day there is a huge storm and a hole is torn in the fence. Round pumpkins are rolling out the hole into the sea until Spookley wiggles himself over to the hole and blocks it. Because he is square, he does not roll out the opening. It's a great story to teach the concept that everyone is unique and has their own talents to share with others.
After reading the story we made connections to the story by making a class book. Each student had to design their own creative pumpkin and write one sentence describing something about it. Their pages turned out so cute it was hard to choose just a few to share here.
