Description
Are your students learning about pumpkins? This nonfiction lifecycle unit is filled with activities to teach your students all about how a pumpkin seed becomes a pumpkin. I love to learn about pumpkins in the Fall as we discuss going to the pumpkin patch and read pumpkin stories. This unit includes a mini reader that will teach them all about the pumpkin lifecycle with a matching colorful book with real photos. This real book can be projected via the digital google link, downloaded as a powerpoint or shared as a pdf. You could even print it and put it in your classroom library. There are so many fun comprehension activities to complete after you read the story. You could do the included research project, make the pumpkin lifecycle craft, or complete the word work and writing activities. There are loads of goodies in this resource to become rabbit experts. This pairs great with my True or False Pumpkins unit too. If you want a variety of apple stories with a little bit of apple lifecycle snuck in, you may also love my Reading Comprehension Pumpkin Week.
