Pumpkin Life Cycle Activity

 Welcome to Mrs. Waugh's pumpkin patch! Since we learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin on our field trip last week, we decided to compliment our learning with this activity.
On one side of the vine you will see the words describing the sequence of the life cycle and on the other side is the matching picture.

Field Trip: Wolfe's Neck Farm


 We arrived at the farm. Wolfe's Neck is an awesome non-profit farm beside the ocean! Our guide, Julianna, memorized our names and then made sure we knew the rules.
We loaded up on the wagon to go to the field to pick our own pumpkins!
Once we got to the field our guide made sure we only took a pumpkin that we could carry ourselves. Good plan!
 Time to learn the pumpkin's life cycle by acting it out! We learned some big words, too, like pollination and adaptation!
Finally, it was back to the barn to visit the animals. We saw goats, pigs, and chickens. We got to walk inside the chicken coop and give them some feed. 
It was a very cold morning but we loved visiting the farm! 
Once back in our classroom, I surprised the kids with hot chocolate!
