Fun Friday! We read the book, Pete the Cat and the Five Little Pumpkins. Each student got their own paper with the 5 Little Pumpkin Story, then they colored, cut and glued the 5 little pumpkins to popsicle sticks! This is a fun way for them to retell the story at home! We ended the week with building a fence for our 5 little pumpkins! We had some great fences! So much fun to see their little minds work! #teacher #trending #foryoupage #teachersoftiktok #fyp #viral #teacherlife #kindergartenteacher #bohoteacher #funfriday #petethecat #5littlepumpkins #halloween #readaloud #retell #stem
Pumpkin Book Report Ideas
In our school, every class decorates a pumpkin like a character in a children’s book. In the past, my class has used characters from books such as The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister (our 2nd place winner), Miss Nelson is Missing by Harry G. Allard Jr., and Arthur Writes A Story by Marc Brown.
How To Start Making Your Pumpkin Book Report:
First, the students in my class vote on which book and character they want to use for the pumpkin decorating contest and complete the planning pages in the Pumpkin Book Report. We then work together to decorate our pumpkin. I usually buy a foam pumpkin for this project, because my students love to look at their pumpkin all year long.
These character pumpkins are some of the best ones that we have ever seen. The Grouchy Ladybug from ABC’s of Literacy Piggie & Elephant from Glued To My Crafts Pete the Cat from Never Done With Fun Rainbow Fish from Easy Peasy and Fun Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus from Sarah in the Suburbs
Fly Guy from Teaming Up To Teach Camila Cream Pumpkin: A Bad Case Of Stripes from M&M World Mrs. Piggle Wiggle from Green Acres Hobby Farm Chicken Little from Teaming Up To Teach Don’t Let The Pigeon Stay Up Late from The Educator’s Spin On It The Tin Man From The Wizard Of Oz from Rockin’ and Lovin’ Learnin’ Little Critter Pumpkin from Green Acres Hobby Farm The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Green Acres Hobby Farm
The Lorax from Miss Nelsons Got The Camera Wonder by Planet Happy Smiles Clifford The Dog from Teaming Up To Teach If You Give A Mouse A Cookie from Planet Happy Smiles Captain Underpants by Green Acres Hobby Farms
After Decorating Your Pumpkin Book Report:
After we decorate our pumpkin, we complete our Pumpkin Book Report. It’s a great way to get your students to write about the character in the book and the project. Then, a committee usually made up of the principal, counselor, and reading coach pick the top three pumpkins from the school and award them with a certificate. This Pumpkin Book Report is such a fun and creative way to encourage literacy during the Fall. It’s sure to be a project that your kids will never forget!
