Pumpkins

On halloween a parent with a pumpkin patch brought in enough pumpkins for all the grade 1's to decorate a pumpkin. Even Mr. B got to beautify one. Everyone in the picture is sitting in front of their pumpkin. It's kind of hard to recognize me but i'm the one second from the left (to the right of the student with the yellow shirt). I put glassess on my pumpkin and all the students thought that was crazy! Then we all laughed because i guess a pumpkin with glassess is ridiculous. Jokes are fun. I thought the students pumpkins were great. I haven't been around younger students in a while and i forgot how creative they can be if they are given some freedom. I really like the black pumpkin for some reason. Mostly because i've never seen anyone color or paint their pumpkin all black and also because it took him a long time to finish and three black felt markers. If you want to see young students engaged, give them a pumpkin and a bucket of felts. Not only do they create unique pumpkin art, they also end up coloring themselves. I should also add that i had more marker on me than the other students; even more than the black pumpkin artist.
