I cannot believe it is already the first day of fall! I feel like this summer has flown by and now it is time to gear up for all things pumpkin, leaves, and Halloween! I always love fall in the classroom. So many fun things to learn and projects to complete. Plus, it seems that Halloween is a favorite holiday for many kids!
Some of the fall projects I like to incorporate into my classroom are 3-D pumpkin life cycles, October Directed Drawings (Draw and Write), as well as 3-D Spider Reports and 3-D Owl Reports. Some years I pick either spider or owl reports, and some years we do both! I will create separate posts describing the different activities so everything stays organized!
Check out the fun we have with our fall projects!
Up first is the 3-D Pumpkin Life Cycle. Life Cycle learning is big in primary and the pumpkin is such a fin one to explore. Of course carving a pumpkin is a great way to learn about the parts of a pumpkin. This is a fun activity to do to complete the life cycle unit. These look adorable surrounding the room and students love taking these home at the end of the unit/fall/month. Click here for the project. I love using orange paper for this project as it looks so good and cuts down on the degree of orange coloring the students need to do (it can be daunting). It also makes the inside of the pumpkins look amazing! Check out this affiliate link for the orange paper I like to use. I also have an instagram video to show how to put the pumpkins together if you would like to view the process!
