Pumpkin Patch

This morning the kid sorted and made patterns with different objects. During morning circle we talked about our Out and About to the pumpkin patch. We reviewed the rules and things to look for at the pumpkin patch.

Ms. Abby came today! We worked on our soccer skills. First the kids dribbled the soccer ball around the cones. They weaved between the orange cones and then turned around at the end and weaved back to the beginning. Next the kids passed the soccer ball back and forth with a partner. We worked on not kicking the ball to hard and aiming at our partner. The last activity was running through the cones and shooting a goal at the end. We cheered on all our friends from the sidelines.

Then it was time to head to the pumpkin patch. The kids were very excited to find the perfect pumpkin to bring back to school. When we got to the pumpkin patch we let the kids explore the area under the tent. They went around touching all the different pumpkins. We found big, little, short, fat, and tall pumpkins. There were orange pumpkins and white ghost pumpkins. The kids found a bin with rotten pumpkins...they smelled gross! There was also a big bin with gourds....they were all different colors and shapes! Before head back to the school we all walked around together until we found the perfect pumpkin to take back to school. We will use it for a very special science project tomorrow!

The kids were anxious to get back to school to rest and have lunch. We worked up an appetite on our trip. After eating lunch we sang Halloween songs to get ready for tomorrow!
