Today we read The Ugly Pumpkin today by Dave Horowitz. It’s a great book to transition from October to November and can lead to a great discussion about kindness, differences, and how characters can change throughout the course of a book. Because the story line is so simple, it’s easy for firsties to recognize the change and is a good starting point for introducing this concept.
Becks’ interpretation of The Ugly Pumpkin:
I love the expression on The Ugly Pumpkin’s face and how Becks paid attention to that detail!
Becks also went on a little noun hunt using a page from Clipboard Classroom Activities. He looked for words and pictures of nouns in the book.
Tomorrow, he will read the story to me and then we’ll complete a little adjective activity. I did this with my class a few years back.
And, we’ll make this super simple craftivity:
You can find the activities above (and more!) in my Oh So Thankful activity pack. You can purchase it as an individual pack or as part of the November Fun Pack bundle.
I can’t believe we’re even in November and that these activities are relevant! Crazy! We’ll be hearing jingle bells soon enough!
Happy Tuesday!
