Pumpkin Fun!

Check out this HUGE pumpkin! Look what Ms. Jennifer found out in the grass last week. Can you believe it?


These are just a few of our favorite pumpkin books.


We liked stamping with carrots!


We have new shape stamps that we used to match Ms. Jennifer's pumpkin faces. So fun!!




Counting and stamping numbers takes big concentration.





This activity is always a favorite. We use kid safe hammers and golf tees on our pumpkins.








The end result!





Learning is fun at Lafayette Academy!





Our new pet hampster was the center of attention this week. His name is Lightening. He loves to run on his wheel. They noise and activity in the room doesn't seem to bother him, either!


After reading a story about the parts of a pumpkin, the kiddos couldn't wait to get inside one! We used kid safe tweezers, play knives, and scrapers to explore.
