Kinder Loving Kare: Pumpkins and Turkeys!

Our classroom has been filled with all types of wonderful explorations this year! One of my all time favorites is our pumpkin exploration. In the month of October we learn all about pumpkins and apples. During our apple inquiry we conduct a lot of science experiments with our apples and even make candy apples! We take an amazing field trip to the pumpkin patch and then we come back to school and explore all of the ooey gooey goodness inside our pumpkins! We even end up with a beautifully carved pumpkin!

My kiddos were pretty excited with this activity.

It only seemed fitting to indulge them with the same type of activity for our apple unit.

How did those pumpkins get there!?!?!?

This one turned out so beautiful, I decided to keep it!

Very first time making candy apples in the classroom and they turned out pretty nice!

We decided to make our own little turkeys for Thanksgiving:

I always love doing this activity before the Thanksgiving holiday.

This is an excellent following directions activity! They turned out so cute! Unfortunately, they didn't last long due to a class full of hungry students.

We did this cute sequence of events activity after reading "A Turkey for Thanksgiving"

This was a fun math center for my kiddos as they discovered ways to make ten. Check out my TPT store or Teachers Notebook shop to grab this fun center.

Here is another much needed center you can find in my shop! Finding fun ways to teach kindergartners how to solve an algebra problem can be pretty daunting, but my kiddos seemed to like this center. I actually remember being introduced to a problem like this when I was in middle school, except it looked more like: x + 3 = 10. Welcome to kindergarten!
