Before we start reading The Runaway Pumpkin....
Our friends have a few things to share with their friends!
Henry showed the book he was reading.
The Letter 'H'
Our group was so excited they wanted to show their Hands
Tyler also wanted to show his Word Ring!
He knows so many!
And receives stars at the back of his cards once he is able to recognize it easily
Before we started Runaway Pumpkin
we looked at the Little Pumpkins in our room.
We used our senses to describe what our pumpkin looks like!
After reading the book we realized the Baxter family wants to make things out of the Giant Pumpkin!
All our friends today wanted to talk about what they wanted to eat just like the Baxter family .
So we used some of the ideas from the book like:
Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkin Bread
.... and we came up with our own list!
Then we decided to draw what we wanted to eat out of The Runaway Pumpkin
Sean wanted to eat Pumpkin Seeds
Tyler wanted to eat pumpkin bread and pie
Brian wanted Pumpkin Cupcakes and cookies
Henry wanted Pumpkin Cupcakes
Lazslo wanted Pumpkin Cookies too!
Using pictures and words is a great visual for students learning the English language
