Finally! A last minute idea for having a pumpkin unit study this week and a marathon of searching the internet for ideas has brought me to a completed lesson plan. I could not have done it without the wonderful ladies who helped me in our Facebook community.
In our home this week, each child will make their own lapbook as we study pumpkins. On Thursday, we will go to the local produce stand and purchase a pumpkin (since I cannot stand the thought of mutilating our pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.)
The lesson plan contains all the links to printables that I am using this week with my children. There are more ideas on my Fall (Learning) board on Pinterest and I plan to give you some more ideas tomorrow!
The complete unit study is available in the Fall Printable Bundle here.

Heya. This is a fun topic and unit study. You can find out about the costs, weights, numbers and types of pumpkins in a weekly maths lesson in order to start with. For English class you can do a few different themed poems on pumpkins. You can also write up a short article on how to grow pumpkins in the garden. Other fun activities include guessing the name of the pumpkin and so on. Good luck. Make some brief summary notes. You can alternatively discuss the ethnical issues regarding pumpkin production. You can draw pumpkins. Otherwise try doing a bunch of cooking experiments.
