Pumpkins in the Air

I absolutely love doing holiday themed challenges with my students. This month I am challenging my classes with Halloween themed activities. There are so many unique challenges to complete, that I often struggle to decide which to try. This month my Kindergarten students were challenged to build a new fence for the 5 Little Pumpkins, which coordinates with the song and book.

The first STEAM challenge for Kindergarten is always exciting and eye opening. It makes me realize how much students grow within a school year. My sweet students have never been asked to work with 5 students before to complete one goal, many of them have never attended a formal school program. So asking them to build ONE fence together is often a challenge in itself. The excitement on their faces when they start working together and build their first fence is a sight. Below are pictures of wonderful fences built by my Kindergarten students. 

This year is a little different in the 3 years I have taught Steam lab at my school we have grown from 7 classrooms to 10 Kindergarten Classrooms!
