Storybook Pumpkin Patch
When I saw this idea on Pinterest I fell in LOVE!! The Pumpkin Book Project was our library display for the month of October. I invited all of our 2nd graders to participate. They wrote a description of their book including character traits and decorated a pumpkin to leave on display in the library. This year was exceptional! We had some amazingly creative kiddos create AWESOME pumpkins! Fifty-six to be exact! How awesome is that?! I created a Certificate of Participation for each student, as well. Our library is eerily empty now! I can't wait for the next library display for November! Stay tuned!
What a FUN idea for a display and a great way to get the students involved in reading, writing, and making their characters come to life via their decorated pumpkins! I think Stuart Little is my fav! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnn, Thank you SO much for your kind words! I agree that its a great way to incorporate many levels of literacy into one project. I also enjoy seeing the families work together to create something. When the parents and the kiddos work together on a literacy project you get nothing but GOLD! :D Good to hear from you, Ann! Hope all is well with you!
