week of Oct. 12- Pumpkins
This week 2K will explore pumpkins and how they grow with our 5 sense. Students will help marble paint a pumpkin that will go on our class vine/garden. We will read "A Pumpkin Prayer" by Amy Parker. Last week, we loved the 5 little pumpkins song, so we'll continue enjoying that this week and recite the favorite "Five Little pumpkins" rhyme at circle time. I will send home a mini book with our favorite fall rhymes.

Jesus time
We will read the story of Adam and Eve and discuss sin as the wrong things we do. Much like a pumpkin is yucky on the inside, sin makes us look icky on the inside to God. Thankfully, because of Jesus, we are like a clean, carved pumpkin, and our sins are washed away! Then we can shine our Jesus lights, just a pumpkin glows at night. 2K has a fun Christian pumpkin project we will create out of construction paper.
