Pumpkin Poem

Share

Wax Poetic. Write "pumpkin" vertically on chart paper. Ask children for two or three words describing pumpkins that begin with each letter of the word p-u-m-p-k-i-n. Voila! you have a poem.

Read a Classic. Mousekin's Golden House by Edna Miller, difficult to find, is a heart-warming story about a mouse taking shelter in a discarded and decomposing jack-o-lantern as winter approaches. (If you have this book, don't lose it. It is a classic and has become quite valuable.)
