pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere

This has been a week of pumpkins.  Yesterday the afternoon class made pumpkin cake in the studio.  And Belle made paleo pumpkin muffins with the Toddlers.
Brooke came in this morning to make mini pumpkin muffins with the morning 440 class.
And Griffin was in Ward-Hobbs carving jack-o-lanterns with some very engaged children.
The shelves have evidence of autumn with works designed to support the children's interests and questions about pumpkins.
The toddler teachers created these incredible chalk paint pumpkins that were a huge hit with the children and teachers!
And the toddlers spent the day investigating the gushy, messy innards of pumpkins.  The enjoyed the salty crunch of toasted pumpkin seeds and the gentle light of a jack-o-lanterns.  It was a school wide collaboration, celebrating the changing seasons and the fun of being together.

Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said, "Oh, my it's getting late!"
The second one said, "There are witches in the air!"
The third one said, "Well, I don't care!"
The fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run!"
The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
Ooooo went the wind and out went the lights
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
