Pumpkin Mini Project

Well, we were down to one computer for the boys for a week...yes, I know they are lucky to have one at all but when you go from two down to one it gets difficult to share the computer time without siblings hanging over your shoulder asking "is it my turn yet?"

So in order to give Daxter some time with his SpongeBob Typing and Clue Finders games, we did a mini project on pumpkins for the two younger boys.

Halo had some printing practice and Ratchet had a word find.

Both boys got to match the jack-o-lantern faces to the expressions. I read the words (happy, sad, angry etc.) to Halo and Ratchet read his on his own.

Each boy had a mini book on the 5 Little Pumpkins and a sequencing book on How A Pumpkin Grows.

Ratchet also had to make 2, 3 and 4 letter words using the words PUMPKIN PATCH.

Both boys did a delicious smelling spice wheel using the spices from a pumpkin pie... yummy!

Both boys also did a colour mixing card using red and yellow to make... orange! I swear, it really is orange, my camera decided not to capture the correct colour.

The activities came from the freebie at Liliput Station.

Your homeschool looks so fun! Makes me miss the days my kids were that age. I found you because you installed my daily learners widget. Thanks! I'm a homeschooling mom too, but now my kids are teenagers. The times goes faster than you can imagine. :)

Wow. I would have never thought of putting smell into a lapbook. Hmmh. I'll have to keep that in mind for the next one. I don't think we want smell in the whale lapbook we are doing. LOL
