Pumpkins

This has been and is going to be a very busy week for me.  I'm booked for subbing everyday this week.  It is really hard getting up in the morning since it has been a long time since I've had to wake up to an alarm clock three days in a row and counting.  The one thing that subbing has taught me is that every school district is completely different and I'm getting a feel for the districts that I would like to find a permanent position with and ones that I would not.  Tomorrow, I will be back with the sixth graders that I was with today and on Friday, I will be in second grade.

Last week, I mentioned that I finished a couple of pumpkin literacy activities.  I am going to share two things today, one free and one paid item.  I will share the others later this week, hopefully Friday.

I'm going to start with my freebie.  I created three sequencing writing prompts about pumpkins.  The writing prompts are: how to pick a pumpkin, how to carve a pumpkin, and how to make a pumpkin pie.  I made a version with and without transitional words.  I also made a cute blank writing page, what can I say, after spending so much time in K-1, I have to have a certain level of cuteness in my projects.  You can grab this freebie by clicking here.

The last thing that I am going to share is a reader that is titled: "How Does a Pumpkin Grow?".  This reader is 9 pages long, including cover and goes over how a pumpkin seed grows into a pumpkin. There are 2 copies of the reader, one in color and the other in black and white.   There is also a comprehension page that you can have your students work on after reading the book. This item is available in my teacherspayteachers store for $3.00, check it out by clicking here.

Here is a preview of "How Does a Pumpkin Grow?"

The good news is it is Wednesday and there are only two more days left for this week.  Come back on Friday/Saturday to see what else I have to share with my pumpkin theme, there may also be a sale on the items that I'm sharing over the weekend!
