Pumpkins

Pastor and Mrs. B have a ton of pumpkins and gourds. After chapel each of my students picked out one to turn into a pumpkin "book report". It's an optional family project that I'm making mandatory. They fussed at first, but stopped when they realized I wasn't going to make them write an actual report. We're doing it for art. They get to decorate their pumpkin with stuff so it resembles a character from a book. So far, they're looking good!

We've been doing collages as our other art project, and one 5th grader made a frog out of her pumpkin using green paper as a collage. She partnered up with the other 5th grade girl to do the book Dog on a Frog? by Kes Gray. The other one is doing a dog. I'll share pictures when they're finished.
