P is for Pumpkin

Fall is a great time to have some family fun! Enjoy the changing leaves and cooler air and celebrate the season with some autumn-themed activities, such as fun crafts for fall and great fall recipe ideas. Click here for ideas.

This week we are exploring pumpkins.  Our letter of the week is Pp.  On Tuesday's our centers will be a pumpkin sequence (Mrs. Hall), letter p pictures/formation, and pumpkin/color bingo.  On Wednesday we will be carving a pumpkin.  


Here is the "story/song" we watched today.  The kids loved it!  Check it out and let them sing for you.
