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.  Preschoolers have been busy with a variety of pumpkin activities as they work on counting, shapes, words that start with "p", and making a pumpkin craft.  On Thursday the kids enjoyed carving a pumpkin.  
Here is the "story/song" that they learned this week.  Check it out and let them sing for you.
