Pumpkin Fun!

We have had an awesome week learning all about our shapes and all about pumpkins! We practiced identifying and saying the names of all our shapes. We used our shapes to make several fun art projects, including a Jack-o-Lantern and a shape collage. Our letter focus this week was on the letter F. Check out our pictures below to see our little ones learning all about pumpkins!
