Pumpkin Day

Don't you just love fall? All the beautiful colors, the fresh breeze and pumpkins!

We cut open a pumpkin so the class could see what it looked like inside. Some were very curious to see what it felt like inside......

others not so much!

They put together a pumpkin book that explained how a pumpkin grows.

My favorite part of the day......making the delicious Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins. I hope your child shared because they are so yummy!
