Pumpkin Fun!

We liked sitting in our "share circle" to sort our pumpkins.  We sorted by size, shape, and stem/no stem.

We sorted our pumpkins by smallest to largest. 


Sneak Peak of our Literary Pumpkin:
Mary Had a Little Lamb

Boom Words


We love playing "Show Down" with our sight words! 
Directions to play "Show Down" at home:

               1. call out a sight word: the, is, we, and, it, like.....
2. child will write the word on the board.
         3.  when you (parent) call out "show down",
your child will hold the board in the air.

This is an engaging game to get student's excited about learning and recoginzing sight words.
