Our visit to the Pumpkin farm is this Friday! So in science this week we are going to dig into the life cycle and facts about pumpkins. We read a great book today called From Seed to Plant with step by step photographs and easy words to show the life cycle. We talked about what plants need to live: water, sun and food (mentioned photosynthesis :) ) and talked about how plants make their own food. They got a kick out of my analogy: have you ever seen a tomato or corn walk and get their own food like an animal? No? :)  You'll see some informational pumpkin sheets going home with them this week. They will learn the different parts of the pumpkin and the life cycle before we head to the farm! In a few weeks we will do a super fun science experiment-details to come! They were really excited to share their own pumpkin stories and learn about pumpkins! 


Last year we let a pumpkin decompose in the woods out back so we are going to check that out this week to see if it's growing! Fingers crossed?!
