Pumpkin Patch Displays

We went on a lovely field trip to a local pumpkin patch.  The kids and grown ups had a great time.  We learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin, fed goats, picked a pumpkin, had an apple snack, went threw a hay maze, and took a hay ride.  It was a first for many of my students.  Once we returned I printed pictures I took from our trip and let each students select one to write about in their journal.  Then I used the extra to make displays for the hallway.

One of the other activities we did to reinforce the color orange, as well as the shape circle, is to paint a pumpkin.  Below are the pumpkins my students painted on display.  I was really impressed with their painting skills.
