TAYLOR PARKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: It's pumpkin time in kindergarten


Mrs. Ambrosia's Taylor Parks Elementary School kindergarten has had a weeklong study of pumpkins across the curriculum.

In science, they studied and created their own Pumpkin Life Cycle Poster. For writing, they chose a pumpkin cutout and wrote one attribute about it.

To get their imaginations moving, "Polka-Dottie," the pumpkin came in for a classroom visit. "Polka-Dottie" needed help being measured for a Halloween costume. So, with the assistance of fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Godfrey, the children completed an estimation activity by guessing how long a piece of yarn would need to be to wrap around the pumpkin.

The weeklong pumpkin fun ended with pumpkin centers on Halloween morning!
