Picking from a Pumpkin Patch
Posted on 10/29/2014

During the week of Halloween, Archer Street School celebrated its annual Pumpkin Day.

The day was filled with pumpkin-related activities and fall festivities for each class. Students visited the school's pumpkin patch, which was created in the courtyard, and each student chose one pumpkin for the day.

Elizabeth Piddoubny's second-grade students illustrated and wrote about their pumpkin property observations. In art class, children answered the target question, "how can we use lines and patterns to design a pumpkin?" Students created a large pumpkin drawing using the various line names and styles they've learned this year.
