Last week we read the book Spookley the Square Pumpkin, in which the title character is dismayed by his odd shape until that shape renders him useful in a time of trouble. It's a great story about how our uniqueness makes us all special and should be celebrated. It's also a great way to incorporate lessons on shapes!
After reading the story, we made our very own shape pumpkins. Students were allowed to pick the shape pumpkin they wanted, and then to choose eyes, nose, and mouths. Some got creative, adding eyebrows and teeth as well!
We love our imaginative, creative students!
