1 We will be creating a pumpkin patch in our classroom the week of October 16th. Each child will need a small pumpkin that they can use in some activities (writing, graphing, describing, measuring and comparing). The pumpkin should not be any bigger than what will fit in their backpack. Our first activity will be to write a detailed description of the pumpkin in class without revealing the pumpkin s owner. Please write only your child s number on the bottom of the pumpkin with a permanent marker before sending it to school. The pumpkins are due on Monday, October 16th. Please do not send the pumpkins to school before this date.
