2 Pumpkins are a great way to teach and reinforce both Language Arts and Science standards. Hands on experiences are some of the best learning a child can do. I found a saying recently that sums up the way that I feel about student learning: One cannot learn by having information pressed into their brains. Knowledge has to be sucked into the brain, not pushed in. First, one must create a state of mind that craves knowledge, interest and wonder. You can teach only by creating an urge to know." I can t think of one student who wouldn t want to learn with pumpkins! Make sure that each student has their own pumpkin. Then write, explore and create with them! Happy teaching and learning! Fill in the Know and Want to Know portion of the chart below.the Learned portion will be filled out later. KNOW WANT TO KNOW LEARN What do I know about pumpkins?
