Pumpkin Patch Celebration

This last week we did so many fun Learning Activities with Experience Early Learning Curriculum . Our Theme this month is Weather and Seasons and today I am sharing some of the Activities we did. 

I am so thankful for the opportunity to use  Experience Early Learning Curriculum with my students and to share our experiences on my blog. 

In exchange for my unbiased and honest reviews Experience Early Learning has provided me with the curriculum free of charge.

I have used Experience Early Learning Curriculum in my Classroom since 2017. This Curriculum has been a True Blessing for me and my students! ❤️

Pumpkin Patch Celebration 

This last week we finished up Weather and Seasons with a Pumpkin Patch Celebration. It was an Awesome Week of fun learning activities!

I used this Awesome Digital Resource Available from 
Experience Early Learning.

It includes so many cute activities and ideas.

 

Circle Time 

We enjoyed fun songs and stories during our celebration week. 

The children really loved  “Five Little Pumpkins”. Finger Play & Song and

“Where is Pumpkin”.

Story Time 
I read From Seed to Pumpkin to the children before the Pumpkin Carving.

This book describes how a pumpkin seed grows into a plant that produces pumpkins. The book includes really beautiful detailed illustrations. 

The Pumpkin Carving 

I scooped out seeds for each child to touch and investigate. This year was different than past years because of Covid. In the past we let each child  touch the inside of the pumpkin but

we were not able to do that this year.

Night Time and Migration

This last week we did so many fun Learning Activities with Experience Early Learning Curriculum . Our Theme this month is Weather and Seasons and today I am sharing some of the Activities we did.

Daylight and Darkness 

Early in the week the children learned about Daylight and Darkness.We discussed things we do during the day and things we do at night. The children really love looking at the stars at night time. That was their favorite thing to do at night. I brought out a globe to show how it spins. I invited each child to come up and spin the globe. I explained to them that the Earth completes a full rotation once a day. 

Days of Spinning 

The children stood up and held hands in a circle. They slowly walked in a circle pretending to spin together. Pretending to spin one day, two days and more. 

N is for Night

For Creative Art the children made a Letter N with strips of black paper. Then they added the stars . It was a Beautiful Night Art Creation.

Making Upper Case N

Night starts with letter N 




Counting Stars 


Table Top Math 

The children Identified the Number and Color, then they placed that many links of the matching color on the star.

Word Puzzles 

I set out the word puzzle mats for the children to explore. We sounded out the words together to figure out which letter was missing.

The letter choices were n, c and u. The children could also look at the small sample word cards to figure it out. We have been reading these words some throughout this month during Circle Time.

Migration 

This last week the children also learned about Migration. They learned how some animals move to different places in the winter months.They move to a warmer place to find food.Some birds fly in a V when they fly together. Other animals such as butterflies, sea turtles, salmon and moose migrate, too.

Butterfly Wand

After learning about Migration  the children made Butterfly Wands.
They drew their own butterfly designs and added a few sequins. They then added the craft stick and ribbon .



They created Beautiful Butterfly Designs.

   Early Learning Literacy Activities 

In this book which was included in the curriculum, Bear learned about Patience. The children heard a story about Bear’s patience of waiting until morning time. 

The children all received a “ I am Patient” bracelet. ❤️

 We have been working on our sight words I , see & 

 the. Our sight word books went home last Thursday.

We will continue to keep this sight word reader in our Library Center. The children enjoy reading it to each other.

  

Last week our letter of the week was Uu. We traced the Uppercase and Lowercase Uu. We reviewed the  letter Uu sound. We  said words that start with the letter Uu. We heard 

and said poems & sang songs with the letter Uu.

We had such a Wonderful Time of Learning with Experience Early Learning. I can’t wait to share next Time’s Learning Adventures.
